Requests:  0 Summary:  The Only Girl in the World describes the author's harrowing upbringing by fanatic parents, who raised her in isolation through traumatic disciplinary exercises designed to "eliminate weakness" and recounts how she eventually escaped with the help of an outsider. "Maude Julien's parents were fanatics who believed it was their sacred duty to turn her into the ultimate survivor--raising her in isolation and subjecting her to endless drills designed to "eliminate weakness." Maude learned to hold an electric fence for minutes without flinching, and to sit perfectly still in a rat-infested cellar all night long (her mother sewed bells onto her clothes that would give her away if she moved). She endured a life without heat, hot water, adequate food, friendship, or any kind of affectionate treatment. But Maude's parents could not rule her inner life. Befriending the animals on her parents' lonely estate as well as the characters in the novels she read in secret, young Maude nurtured in herself the compassion and love that her parents forbade as weak. And when, after more than a decade, an outsider managed to penetrate her family's paranoid world, Maude seized her opportunity to break free. By turns horrifying and magical, [this book] is a story that will grip you from the first page and leave you spellbound by its chilling exploration of psychological control that ends with a glorious escape."--Jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Julien Ju Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.76092 Julien Ju Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Biography B Julien Ju Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.76092 Julien Ju Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.76092 Julien Ju Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.76092 Ju Checked In Add Copy to MyList
