Dear Katya: I am utterly intrigued by your premise and structure of Strait Jackets as a conversation between a younger and older self, which is what every memoir is. I am certain it cost you emotionally to go back there, as you said; consider the price you paid your gift to the world. "I write from pain," says Truman Capote. Me too.

Hi Peggy, Thank you for taking the time to read this, I am glad it resonates with you.
Best,
Katya
Really poignant, the experience of having your young self “rejected” when the manuscript was rejected. Thank you for sharing that here.
Thank you for reading!
