Book Talk with your host Lawrence J. King and Christa Jan Ryan

Tonight on Book Talk Radio our special guest is Christa Jan Ryan author of a book called Silent Screams from the Hamptions. Christa Ryan was born into a chaotic family, enduring alcoholism, drug overdoses, and violence. An indefatigable writer, she used humor to cope. She chronicled the loss of her baby in her first book, From the Depth of a Woman's Soul. After thirty years as landscape designer to the rich and famous, Ryan lives in New York with her two sons. As a prominent woman business owner in the Hamptons, Ryan's 30 years as a landscape designer has truly blossomed with compassionate generosity. Ryan is also an established author and is also known for her role in The Vagina Monologues of NYC and Houston, Texas. Her landscape work has appeared on the popular television series, Royal Pains. Christa Ryan takes readers on a roller coaster ride, offering them many places to find their own identities. She sorts through her past, showing how one episode after another contributed to the chaos of her adult life. She recounts how she matured into better person rather than perpetuate the "victim" cycle. Her candid storytelling reflects how actions are so tragically linked to this Disease of The Family of Origin and how patterns of hurts, hang-ups, and habits are carried forward into the next generation. Christa was able to break this cycle through the powers of willingness, love and forgiveness. In this remarkable story, she encourages readers to face and overcome the silent screams of their everyday struggle. Celebrities, Addictions, Sex, Scandal, Betrayal, this book has it all.
