Lynette Curran is a professional female Australian actor who has worked in stage, television, and film since her teenage years. She has been nominated and won awards for her work. This is her first book, which she wrote not only to heal and release herself but also as a source of information, experience, and education for those who have no idea about the impact of familial abuse on a survivor’s life. The book is not filled with blame but rather carries a serious intention to draw attention from the collective unconscious and create a safer, better world. It showcases her innate humour, spiritual unfolding, passion for literature and theatre, and the art of performing.
It only took me 30 years,” Lynette Curran says, with a smile, when asked about the process of writing Dreams of Taboo, the book she wrote to help survivors of familial sexual abuse. “Even when I was a kid, I knew that there was something I had to do, and I was overwhelmed by it, even though I didn’t know what it was. But this book is my mission … getting it out there because it’s so prevalent and people don’t want to look.”
