Arny Alberts offers words of wisdom about sexual abuse, strives for closure in ‘Burnt Cookies’
Chicago-area writer Arny Alberts’ harrowing tale of sexual abuse and the resulting years-long pursuit to achieve closure have been detailed in his book, Burnt Cookies: A Quest for Closure.
Now available from Llumina Press, Burnt Cookies: A Quest for Closure recounts Alberts’ life experiences, spanning from his high school days up to the present. For Alberts, the catalyst that triggered his writing was a phone call from a high school friend. That conversation set in motion an intense journey through a series of traumatic, disconnected memories.
“Burnt Cookies doesn’t hold back from the truth,” Alberts said of his book. “Names are real, situations of grooming and abuse are detailed. I want people to see how easy it was–how my trust was betrayed–and help people become aware of the potential threat in their future.” Full Press Release…
