YANNI

  • Personal history
    • In Glory in Death, Dr. Mira stated that her stepfather raped her repeatedly from the time she was twelve until she was fifteen. For those three years she lived never knowing when it would happen, only that it would. And no one would listen to her ... it stopped because she went to an abuse center, told the counselor everything, and submitted to the examinations.[45]
    • In Purity in Death, Mira talked about daydreaming; how she would curl up, as a girl, in her father's library, how her parents met years ago, are now semiretired and live in Connecticut. She said, "I suppose the tranquility of this spot made me think of them, appreciate them. Not everyone has such a steady, undemanding childhood."[46]
    • In Divided in Death, she said her parents' marriage disintegrated and her mother, impulsively, married another man four months after the divorce. Her mother traveled frequently and her stepfather used drugs to keep Mira quiet. She attempted suicide and, in her hospital room, told her mother and real father of the two and a half years of rape and abuse. Her stepfather was arrested, her parents got back together, and Mira doesn't often think of the 'bitter years'.[47]
