Overview Ratings & Reviews

Angela Shelton beganinterviewing other women with her name with the goal of making a movie thatinspired women to unite. What happened is heartbreaking, joyous, sad,miraculous, and a one-of-a-kind read. Finding Angela Shelton cleverly movesthrough the filmmaker’s life story along with the recurring dreams she hadwhile on the road in search of women who shared her name. She discovered that 70%of the Angela Sheltons she interviewed were victims of child sexual abuse, rapeand/or domestic violence. Her namesakes inspire the filmmaker to confront herown past along with her abusive father when one of the Angela Sheltons lives inthe same town as the filmmaker's father who abused her and her siblings forfive years. The additional chapter available in the "recovered"version tells the unbelievable bookend to the story. Finding Angela Shelton ismandatory reading in many Women’s Studies programs around the US. The messageof the book urges survivors of any kind of abuse or trauma to break the cycleof violence and find joy.
