The Edge of Insanity: The Throw-Away Child is a raw, unfiltered memoir about a little girl who grew up feeling invisible, unwanted, and discarded.
Through deeply personal storytelling, Karen A. Reigns shares her childhood marked by abuse, neglect, and emotional abandonment. Behind closed doors, she endured what no child should face. With no safe place to turn, she learned to survive in silence, finding comfort where she could and strength where none seemed possible.
This is not just a story about trauma. It is a story about resilience. About the quiet determination of a child who refused to disappear. About the long road from pain to self-understanding.
Honest and courageous, this memoir shines a light on the hidden realities of abuse while offering hope to those who have lived through similar darkness.
