As a child, Antonia Deignan believed that her father’s nighttime visits to her bedroom showed the special love he had for her. Still, some part of her knew that what he was doing to her was wrong. She began to create fantasy worlds in her mind to escape. As Tuni grew up, she traded her fantasies for dancing, but her inner turmoil also manifested in self-destructive ways. After she suffered a serious bike accident that forced her to face the demons from her past, Tuni finally began to work through her trauma by writing a hauntingly beautiful memoir about her experiences.

For today’s episode, I spoke with Tuni about her book, Underwater Daughter: A Memoir of Survival and Healing, which delves into the way childhood trauma affects every part of a person’s life going forward.

This is Underwater Daughter, the story of Antonia Deignan.
