Abstract
‘Fledgling’ is a memoir drawn from my memories of experiencing sexual abuse as a child and it is also about the time I cared for a little bird. ‘Fledgling illustrates that there is a kinship that is formed between readers and writers of traumatic testimony in life writing and these rich and meaningful exchanges not only have the potential to instigate social change but may also support writers to potentially transform and heal in the process of being heard.
