Non-Fiction Memoir
We all, as children, had our imaginary friends and monsters
in the closet. But for Suzan Saxman, those friends and
monsters didn’t go away—and they weren’t imaginary. From an early age, Suzan knew instinctively that she had to
hide her true self. She couldn’t talk about the specters who
haunted her, waking and dreaming. In bed with a childhood
fever, winged beings guarded her; bullied and friendless at
school, she ate lunch silently under the steps of St.
Theresa’s with the ghost of a nun; paralyzed with fear, she
woke each night to see a man with no eyes, watching her; and
she kept watch at the window, every day, while her real
father was at work and Steve, her other father, was with her
mother. It was the 1960s in suburban Staten Island and she
tried to hide it all—to silence the spirits, ghosts and her
own developing abilities to tap into people’s futures. She
tried to be a daughter her mother could love. Now, with Perdita Finn, Suzan tells the story of her journey
in The Reluctant Psychic, and tries to make sense of her
mother’s own personal buried secrets that were never
acknowledged. She tells of the joy and terror in seeing
things others couldn’t and understanding what no one else
expected—and the loneliness and sadness of possessing a
tremendous gift. Through powerful readings of others’
destinies interwoven with compelling narrative, a reluctant
psychic emerges into the light.
