Hey Vic!
Over the course of the memoir, the author weaves in and out between childhood horror stories and how the abuse affected her adult life. Though it reads like a novel, this book is not fiction. All the stories recounted herein are true.
In “Hey Vic!,” Phyllis shares a brutally honest and profoundly moving account of how her life has been shaped by trauma, neglect, hardship and every form of abuse. She was born into chaos and raised by a mother who did not want kids, certainly not girls. And a father who blew every dime he had on booze, gambling, and chasing women. Phyllis lived in constant fear of her parents — with good reason.
The abuse began at age 3 or 4 and continued until she was 12 and a half. But amid the darkness, a quiet defiance grew: She learned how not to be a parent. With an amazing will to live — and later, to thrive — Phyllis takes readers on a journey through harrowing lows and courageous inner strength.
One reader stated, “It’s like reading a Stephen King novel.” Another said, “It is absolutely incredible, a real page-turner that I couldn’t put down.”
More than a tale of survival, “Hey Vic!” is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Phyllis shows that healing is possible, even after years of abuse and neglect. This story is for anyone struggling with abuse, for professionals in the field, or for the public seeking to gain knowledge about abuse, whether it is physical, mental, sexual abuse — or neglect.
