{"product_id":"9781941932087","title":"The Inheritance of Shame : A Memoir (The Inheritance of Shame)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The Inheritance of Shame details the six years author Peter Gajdics spent in a bizarre form of conversion therapy that attempted to \"cure\" him of his homosexuality. Kept with other patients in a cult-like home in British Columbia, Canada, Gajdics was under the authority of a dominating, rogue psychiatrist who controlled his patients, in part, by creating and exploiting a false sense of family. Juxtaposed against his parents' tormented past -- his mother's incarceration and escape from a communist concentration camp in post-World War II Yugoslavia, and his father's upbringing as an orphan in war-torn Hungary -- Gajdics' story explores the universal themes of childhood trauma, oppression, and intergenerational pain. Told over a period of decades, the bookshows us the damaging repercussions of conversion therapy and reminds us that resilience, compassion, and the courage to speak the truth exist within us all\"--Publisher's description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brown Paper Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48809859350763,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":32.94,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781941932087-1.jpg?v=1783113983","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781941932087","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
