About Excavating pieces: An American Childhood

This complex tale of a Michigan boyhood illuminates a subject of universal concern: the shocking number of American men–an estimated one in six–who have been sexually abused as children. New York actor Patrick Husted digs deep into his own past to reveal how such abuse can occur and how it can affect a male victim well into adulthood. Told with compassion, devastating candor, and doses of humor, his story offers hope to millions of men and their loved ones. It begins in the small town of Ionia. For a small boy with a big imagination, Ionia is a place of wonders. Its woods are enchanted, its houses full of treasure–crystal balls, flying carpets, magic potions. As time goes by, however, Patrick begins to wonder if what goes on in his own house is normal. Life at home has been deteriorating ever since his mother married George, a factory roustabout with a violent temper. Hardly a day goes by without George’s violence. When his mother starts working the night shift, leaving George in charge, it is Patrick–the youngest of three boys–who becomes his special victim. To protect himself, the child must remain hyper vigilant, and at the age of seven he becomes “a private investigator, working secretly for myself.” But the effects of childhood trauma endure, and at age forty, Patrick is still struggling to make peace with his past. The final chapters propel the reader through a series of stunning revelations to the heart of this excavation. [118]www.patrickhusted.com
