Book Cover & Preview Text
Alice then opened the door to the cellar and shoved me. I fell several steps, until I caught myself, by reaching for the banister.
Being pushed down the stairs would be a recurring situation for many years. I got very good at catching myself on the banister. Whenever I got hurt falling down these steps, Alice would tell my father I was clumsy. I just did not understand why my father didn’t stand up for me. How could he believe I fell down the steps when after all, at two and a half, he put me at the foot of the steps at my mother’s wake at the house and I climbed the stairs very well? I also could handle the steps at Nonna’s house; I never fell … so why did he believe I was now so clumsy and falling down the steps? At this time Alice would push me down the stairs with her hands; as I got older, she would lift her foot up and push or kick me down the steps of the stairway.
