Numbing Nadine

About the Book

Numbing Nadine is a hodgepodge of incidents in Nadine Hernandez’s life that compromises her security, maturity, and morals. Fragments of her life explode in her memory at various ages and viewpoints, shattering a comfortable zone of denial and repression. Nadine, half- Hispanic and half-white, finds herself unable to identify or sympathize with either race. Horrified and embittered with choices, events and experiences throughout her life in various South Texas towns, Nadine struggles with her sexuality, her conscience, and her distrust of men in her quest for self-acceptance and closure.
