Excavating Pieces

A companion to "Our House in Arusha," Excavating Pieces is my ex-husband's story. It is mostly set in the small town of Ionia, Michigan, in the 1950s, and it deals with the subject of child sexual abuse. The subject is alluded to in my own memoir, but I have so far been unable to write an entire book about it. Someday I will. I'm working myself up to it. With this type of writing (memoir), it helps to allow a good deal of time to pass before sitting down to tackle the life events that have marked and forever changed you. From Kirkus: "Husted, an accomplished actor, comes to terms with childhood sexual abuse in this courageous yet harrowing debut memoir."
