Local Bookstores to Host Liz Kinchen
Author, meditation teacher and
Buddhist practitioner Liz Kinchen will read from, speak about and sign copies
of her new memoir Light in Bandaged Places: Healing in the Wake of Young
Betrayal beginning at 7 p.m. at three area bookstores this month—on
September 6, 2023, at Lowell Book Company, in Lowell; on September 12, 2023, at Grub
St./Porter Square Books, in Boston; and on September 14, 2023, at Brookline Booksmith,
in Brookline. The book is especially suitable and inspirational to those
interested in family dynamics, personal growth, healing from emotional wounds,
and finding resilience.
Seduced into a sexual “romance”
by her eighth-grade teacher, it took Kinchen years to understand the abuse and
seek healing for the emotional isolation that underpins her adult
relationships. Kinchen writes in a candid and moving manner about reckoning
with and healing from childhood trauma, with the hope of helping others along
their own paths of rediscovery and repair. The book also details how she began
a spiritual and psychological journey that set her free from what had destroyed
her childhood innocence and feelings of self-worth, and led her to become a
meditation teacher and Buddhist practitioner.
Kinchen
has been practicing meditation and leading meditation groups over the past 45
years. She operates her own meditation practice in the Boston MetroWest area
offering classes, ongoing groups and one-on-one meditation mentoring sessions.
Event locations: 250 Jackson St., Unit 417;
Lowell, MA; 50 Liberty Dr., Boston, MA; 279 Harvard St., Brookline, MA. For
