| Abstract
|
:
|
Inside is an intimate narrative of the mind and heart of a young girl as she recounts the passionate love she feels for her father. The borders imposed by the skin and flesh of their two separate bodies disappear - her fusion with her father is total. When he dies, the frightened girl must confront her own identity apart from her paternal love, or risk her own death. Drawing on images from her memory and dreams, she slowly comes to realize that the elusive psychic reality that has sustained her heretofore must be sacrificed if she completes the rite of passage form childhood to womanhood.
