Beschreibung

Creative Lady is a book about Helen Tochen, a lady of many talents who has never talked about those talents.  It is time for me, as her loving husband, to tell her story.  A dear friend, who was at our wedding over fifty years ago, commented, Helen is finally getting her due. This book is a biography, a chronicle, a lyric in a life that is a beautiful song.  Helen has lived a full life as a physician, as a loving daughter, mom, and wife, and as a creative lady.  I wish to honor her and to share my marvel at the rich inner life that is the source of her creativity.  She is full of resolutions to achieve, of wishes to create!  At age nine, Helen knew she would become a physician—and she made it happen, graduating with honors from medical school. At age 12, she was studying piano at the family home in Hong Kong, where they had immigrated from Tientsin, China. She would later win honors playing piano in a classical music competition playing a difficult piece with elan.  At age 15, she studied painting with a Chinese master; now in her senior years, she is painting abstract art pieces of beauty.  Free Spirit and Poets Choice publisher and founder Akshay Sonthalia commented on Helen’s goals and dreams while still a young girl, such clarity of vision and focus in life is rare to come by. As a pediatrician retired for twenty-five years,  she has been approached while shopping by smiling family members of old patients.  One lady greeted her, saying, Hello, Dr. Tochen, you took care of my little girl and she loves you!  She will be so excited to hear I ran into you.  As a mom, she was always loving, always engaged with the children, but as our daughter said of her mother, if I needed support, mom could turn into fierce mom!  Why do I write now?  My desire to write about my wife crystallized when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s eight years ago.  I must chronicle the great losses in her impactful life.  This lady deserves to be seen, she deserves to be heard, she deserves to be honored. People should say with love, I see her.

Circling The Wagons is a raw, courageous memoir that chronicles one woman’s journey to reclaim her life after surviving intra-familial childhood sexual abuse.  After decades of silence, the author breaks that silence to tell the story she once could not, offering truth, validation, and hope to survivors everywhere, without oversharing. 
Written primarily for fellow survivors of childhood trauma, the book also speaks to friends, family members, and professionals seeking to better understand and support them. Through unflinching honesty and lived experience, Circling The Wagons explores the long-term emotional, psychological, and relational impacts of hidden and unaddressed trauma, particularly when abuse is denied, minimised, or buried within families across generations. 
The memoir sheds light on why survivors may struggle with identity, self-worth, relationships, and misplaced guilt well into adulthood. It examines how secrecy, shame, and family loyalty deepen wounds, and how healing begins when survivors reclaim their voice and their truth. Alongside her pain, the author shares hard-earned insights that guided her toward self-discovery, resilience, and healing, demonstrating that a second chance at life is possible. 
Serving both as a testament to resilience and a practical guide, Circling The Wagons offers compassionate guidance for navigating complex family dynamics, confronting guilt that never belonged to the survivor, and rebuilding a life rooted in honesty and self-compassion. 
This book also provides valuable insight for counsellors, advocates, and professionals in child protection, as well as students and academics in Psychology, Social Work, Criminology, Education, Public Health, Law, and Gender Studies. It will resonate with anyone seeking a deeper, lived experience understanding of trauma, intervention, and generational abuse.
