Synopsis

In "The Queen's Matrimonial Ladder," William Hone deftly navigates the tumultuous waters of early 19th-century British monarchy, infusing his satirical narrative with elements of social critique and political commentary. Hone layers his prose with a mix of humor and gravitas, using the allegorical 'ladder' as a metaphor for the aspirational yet treacherous pathways to royal favor and union. This engaging text, reminiscent of political pamphlets of its time, reflects the complexities of marriage, power dynamics, and societal expectations during a period marked by both reform and turmoil in Britain. William Hone, a prominent figure in the literary and political landscape of his era, was renowned for his sharp wit and commitment to reform. His background as a bookseller and publisher provided him with a unique perspective on the intersection of literature and political discourse. Hone's disdain for the oppressive censorship of his time fueled his desire to craft works that could provoke thought and challenge the status quo, making "The Queen's Matrimonial Ladder" a product of both personal conviction and the collective yearning for greater freedom of expression. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricate interplay between monarchy and society. Hone's ability to weave satire into a richly textured narrative enables readers to grasp the nuances of an evolving British identity. By peering through Hone's incisive lens, readers will gain valuable insights into the machinations of power, the societal constructs that bind it, and the humor that often accompanies the absurdity of high office.

    Donna Bevan-Lee had a tough childhood. When her father was feeling playful, he roped her by the foot like a rodeo calf, yanking her to the ground every time the rope connected. In darker moods, he did far worse, his brutality excused by a complicit church. The abuse she suffered had profound and lasting consequences. 
    Too many adults have similar histories. Roughly a quarter of American children experience complex trauma resulting from abuse, neglect, catastrophic illness, or other adversity. Because such trauma affects the developing brain, it's not something we outgrow; it permanently alters our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and behavior, often without our awareness. It derails our plans, sabotages our relationships, and convinces us that we're unworthy of happiness. It makes us vulnerable to addiction, obesity. depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and early death. It is a challenge like no other. 
    Dr. Bevan-Lee met the challenge of her childhood and helped other survivors to meet theirs. Now she has distilled her history. cutting-edge research, and four decades of clinical experience into a book for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Full of up-to-date information, practical help, compelling stories, and clear-eyed encouragement, this book is a comprehensive guide to recognizing and overcoming childhood trauma, written by someone who has been there.
