Years ago, in my early 20s, I became obsessed with Laura Palmer and Twin Peaks. I was probably at the most angsty I’ve ever been in my life and found myself getting sucked into the sadness and the horror of Laura's suffering and her self-medicating from the severe trauma of sexual abuse.
Not too long ago, I discovered a book about the Twin Peaks film Fire Walk with Me that I highly recommend. It reinvigorates the much-maligned 1992 movie. I also suggest Laura's Ghost, which focuses on Laura Palmer specifically and how her character speaks to so many women.
