“Pockets Full of Poseys” is a memoir about author A.J. Finn's abusive and severely dysfunctional childhood. Full of a cast of unsavory characters, unexpected champions, and a brave little girl, it's a tale of the triumph of the human spirit against all odds. Instead of wallowing in sadness, A.J. presents the facts with dark humor and sarcasm, while still acknowledging the horror. Unfortunately, domestic violence and child abuse are much more common than we'd like to believe. Many people out there can relate to her story, and she hopes it will let others out there who came from similar situations or are in one now know that they are not alone. There is hope beyond pain. We can go on to live a good life without our trauma defining us and become who we want to be.
