Hush Hush and Other Veneers: a memoir

Hush Hush and Other Veneers by Alexandra Dell'Amore is the true story of girl who endured abuse to protect her family and eventually shot the man who her parents called "doctor." Although she protected her family from an evil man, she nevertheless became an outcast. The story shows how greed and lies kept her from being believed. Her lonely journey charts her self-effacing life from the 1940's to the present. By fearlessly exploring her past, Dell'Amore realized the shame and guilt she had embraced were never hers. Hush Hush and Other Veneers is a journey of resilience and courage in the face of self interest and denial from a society that looked the other way-it is a story of hard-won freedom.
