"Catharsis" by Ann Wachter
Individuals face a variety of hardships throughout their life, but Ann Wachter’s “Catharsis” (ISBN 1460915690) looks at how events in a particular life stage can affect one for years to follow. Written for adult audiences, including young adults, Wachter speaks to those who have grown up with troubles from a young age through the fictional story of Amzy.
Examining the character’s trauma – family’s financial struggles, parents’ divorce, parental and sibling abuses and addictions – relative to the timeframe of 1960s until the present day, she delves into how society, community and family played a key role in shaping the character’s life.
Wachter says, “I wrote this book to better understand who I was as a person. After completing publication, I realized the relevance the story has on present day due to worldwide economic crisis and staggering job loss. A new purpose for the story has become paramount: elevate awareness.”
Wachter believes that the fictional story of Amzy shows readers that inner exploration creates a pathway of self-understanding that helps people come to terms with their past so they can shed it and live a more productive future. With addictions, abuse, divorce and strained relations more prevalent than ever in today’s society, she hopes that young adults especially will find comfort as well as encouragement to face their own struggles through “Catharsis.”
“Catharsis” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
