(Shaken to the Core is the story of a young woman's quest to uncover the secrets of her childhood. Plagued by anxiety and devastating fears, she is losing her home, her husband and, at times, it seems her sanity. Her quest for truth and normalcy leads her to uncover the ugly details of not only her own life but those of her family - patterns of physical, emotional and sexual abuse passed down through the generations, beginning in turn-of-the-century Hungary. This abuse is so powerful, so all-consuming, that her own daughter becomes the littlest victim, despite all the woman does to prevent it.
