VERONIQUE: ’n Memoir is natuurlik baie persoonlik. ’n Mens kan sort of niks sugarcoat nie. Was jy at all innie process bewus, bekommerd of ashes oor hoe jy perceive sal wôd ná die publication van jou storie?
SHANA: LOL “ashes”. I always joke that I can’t be embarrassed because I have no self-respect to begin with — it seems self-deprecating but it is somewhat true. I think I was degraded so much as a child and young woman that I stopped caring about my own gevriet. I became comfortable with having no secrets. I wrote everything with purposeful honesty, particularly explaining the ugly and humiliating and gruesome parts as is — not exaggerated, but not made palatable.
