Synopsis
In the Typhoon's Eye: A Story of Childhood and Leaving Home follows Bles Chavez-Bernstein's personal development, written from the perspective of the person Chavez-Bernstein was at each stage being depicted. From the author's impoverished upbringing in postwar Southeast Asia to a career as a mental health and addictions RN specialist, In the Typhoon's Eye is an immigrant story like no other, laying out how denial of self-expression, poverty, and trauma from physical and emotional abuse resulted not in dysfunction, but in strengthening of character-- the pursuit of her lifetime calling and her truest self.
