The Seller of Secrets

Mother was an emotionally damaged woman shrouded in depression and dark secrets. Father was a man plagued by alcoholism who lived in a state of drunken evasion for many years before jumping ship. Kathleen Rose Morgan was born into this troubled family and merged with a community plagued by toxic male aggression, submissive women, wannabe Mafia brutes, charlatan holy men and women, and lurid and criminal goings–on—all made possible by cheek-turners, complicit and fearful enablers, and an ever-present, overarching code of silence.

This is the story of the poignant journey Kathleen embarks upon after the long-hidden details of her trauma finally come to light—a quest to seek deep healing through truth, nature, energy medicine, and after-death communication. After a shocking deathbed confession from Mother, Kathleen’s healing path joins an investigation into a shadowy past where the puzzle of repressed memories and childhood secrets is painstakingly assembled. Raw and intense, The Seller of Secrets is a memoir of how early adverse experiences shape a fractured life with limitations, and how freeing oneself from fear and the muteness of shame is the key to true happiness.

Kathleen Rose Morgan is a mother, writer, musician, and practitioner and explorer of various methods of energy medicine and the art of healing trauma. Originally from Staten Island, New York, she traded ferry boat rides for her kayak when she moved to Vermont. Adverse childhood experiences ended Kathleen’s official education prematurely. She self-educated through books, music, mentors, and the cultural offerings of NYC where she split her time between playing guitar and singing in a metal band and working at large law firms as a legal administrative assistant.
