| Description: |
The Melindaville Blog chronicles my journey of writing and publishing my memoir, “Lost and Found,” which details my experiences as a victim of childhood sexual abuse, as a sex industry worker, as an actor and musician in San Francisco’s punk rock scene of the 1980’s and my fifteen year journey through recovery. I hope to inspire others who suffer from painful early childhood experiences, addiction or other self-destructive tendencies, as well as raise awareness about the need for free and available treatment in our society. |

“Melinda,” he said, “when you are all wrapped up in yourself, it makes for a small package.”
I sat back, surprised at his directness. However, his point once made, I thought about that quote a lot and realized he was right; I needed to get out of myselfmore |
