Entwined
Of Loss,
Reunion
and
Transformation
By
Joyce Scott
Down syndrome and deafness condemned Judith Scott to
a nightmare institutional world for thirty-five long years.
Through the love and determination of her twin sister, she finally
regains her freedom, discovers her creativity, and becomes an artist of
international acclaim.
This extraordinary journey, a true fairy tale of
mythic proportions, forms the core of the book —
but it is only a beginning.
Like ripples radiating across the surface of a pond, Judith’s
influence has spread wide and shaped many lives — a powerful legacy that
continues to grow
Through the deep insights and profound candor of
Joyce Scott, Judith’s twin, Entwined takes us on an emotional journey of
self-discovery. After sharing an
idyllic country childhood, Judith is suddenly snatched away in the night,
leaving her twin perplexed and deeply wounded.
Grief permeates the family, leading first to their mother’s
breakdown, and then to their father’s heart attack and premature death.
As lives unravel, Entwined charts a course through the debris, leaving
us wondering whether there can ever be resolution.
However, from despair is born hope, and from hope is
born transformation. As the
seemingly disparate strands of the story are drawn subtly together they weave
a rich tapestry of love, through which shines the brilliant light of a unique
human spirit that refused to be dimmed by adversity.
Entwined touches us on many levels.
Reflecting back an image of ourselves, it is a deeply moving testament
to the hidden strengths that lie unrecognized within each of us.
