About Childhood on Fire: My Journey From the Hell of Baltimore to High Water, by Talisha Hunter:
Wrenching disillusionment and overt abuse were my constant companions, and it would not be until my early thirties that I realized my world was ablaze. I had suffocated in physical, mental, emotional and spiritual anguish, and was near physical death on the night that I contemplated suicide.
Like all of us, though, I had a choice: choose life or end life, and I chose to not only keep going, but to embrace the pain with open arms and acknowledge the harm it had done. I stared unflinchingly at the full length film of my years of suffering, and decided that day that it all stopped here and now.
I went through a remarkable transformation, a rebirthing experience that healed that little girl trapped inside me, and when I did, I resurfaced as a refined, sharp, and strong woman. I healed.
“Childhood on Fire: My Journey from the Hell of Baltimore to High Water,” is a true story based on the events that happened in my life. It is a gritty, harrowing tale of how I prevailed over heinous acts and unspeakable atrocities that challenged me to change my life, in ways I never thought would otherwise be possible.

Author Bio:
Talisha has a magnificent story of loss and redemption. She was separated from her mother at a tender age, abandoned by birth family, placed in foster care and ultimately raised in a brutally unsympathetic environment far from the home she once knew. From childhood to young adulthood, Talisha dealt with separation anxiety, dissociative identity disorder, codependency, and a string of bad relationships, all arising from the severe, repetitive and soul-numbing effects of living with damaged, dysfunctional people and succumbing to the challenges that most others have been fortunate to avoid.
Talisha went through a remarkable transformation, a rebirthing experience that healed that little girl trapped inside, and when she did, she resurfaced as a refined, sharp and strong woman.
