Carroll County, Indiana resident C.B. Anderson, who we know locally as Cindi Anderson, has written a memoir of her husband, Dr. Tom Anderson (Doc Anderson), a beloved country doctor. Doc was not your typical doctor but was one who charged little, sometimes nothing. He wanted to be a doctor, not to make lots of money, but to merely help. And that he did! (Doc passed away in 2008).
The story is written for several reasons. Yes, to honor Doc but also for the purpose of encouragement to any who have suffered and are yet suffering from being sexually abused as a child. This book shows how such horrific childhood abuses, on any scale, stay with you for a lifetime! Cindi also wrote to encourage any suffering from bipolar disorder, as Doc. himself did.
C.B. Anderson, in My Favorite Cashew, is honest and real as she shares their years of mariage, Doc's grieving for the love he felt he missed as a child, their country-style existence, and the ups and downs of depression and sorrow from childhood trauma. It's a memoir and it's special.
This book comes electronically and in paper and is available at the Delphi Public Library.
