BENNINGTON — Shaftsbury author Christa Jan Ryan's announced the new release of her memoir, "Silent Scream from the Hamptons," now available in local bookstores.
Ryan begins her memoir by introducing readers to the concept of "disease of the family of origin," referring to the often intergenerational transference of dysfunction – where patterns of neglect, hurt, sorrow, guilt, shame, pain, chaos, and trauma pass secretly and stealthily from one generation to another.
