• From Synanon Kid: Book One: A Memoir of Growing Up in the Synanon Cult

  At night, I awoke to her unwinding my small braids while praying to the saints for salvation before settling down to sleep. Often she stood hunched over the bathroom sink, washing her hands repeatedly while muttering Hail Marys. Other times she fingered the glass beads, creaking to and fro in her rocking chair and frowning at the injustices of her life. The Catholic churches I attended with my grandmother matched her melancholy mood with their poorly lit, cavernous interiors, stained glass windows and portraits of sad-looking saints. Behind the altar, Jesus hung on the cross, imbued with eternal sorrow. Expected to sit still on a hard bench for the hour we spent at church services, I inevitably swung my legs and received sharp pinches from my grandmother’s quick fingers. As we rose, knelt, rose, sat and sang with the other congregants, our voices reached to the high ceiling and outward, the echoes circulating like mournful ghosts. If I fidgeted again, my grandmother’s hand closed firmly around my wrist, cutting off circulation. I preferred my mother’s version of God as a friend who lived around the corner. When I recited the traditional prayer “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take,” my mother stopped me. She didn’t want me to be on my knees contemplating my possible death. “God is your friend, Celena,” she said. “When you pray, you’re having a conversation with God. Prayer is like making a phone call.” She created a small book of green construction paper with the pages hole-punched and tied together with yarn. Glued to them were photographs of me engaged in various activities: smelling a flower, petting a llama at the zoo, laughing hysterically. Under each, she wrote a brief caption: “God loves flowers.” “God loves animals.” “God has a sense of humor.” My mother’s motto: “If you want to know God, get to know yourself.” My father inhabited the world of relatives; he held the status of a scarcely seen favorite uncle. When he visited, his personality seemed almost too big for our little studio apartment. He laughed loud and talked loud, his cologne and aftershave clotting the air around him, tickling my nasal passages. On his knee my father would place me for a pretend horse ride, or up into the air he’d throw me, making wide eyes at me as I came crashing back into his arms. Most of our visits took place in his apartment, neatly furnished with white brocade sofas and matching throw pillows carefully arranged. Plastic runners protected stretches of frequently vacuumed carpet. He didn’t understand my mother’s way of keeping house: clothes strewn about, dishes piled in the sink, books stacked on the toilet seat lid; nor could he understand the fact that my mother never really had a plan. We drifted, my mother and I.

  “He didn’t mean it.” She slipped into the room, closing the door with a quiet click and sat next to me. “Do you want some gum?” She dug into her jeans pocket for a pack of Juicy Fruit and pulled a slim silver stick from the cheerful yellow jacket, ripping it in half and handed me my portion. I took it wordlessly, unwrapped it and popped the powdery pale bit of treat into my mouth. “It’s okay,” she said a little louder. “Just wait here like he said. We’re going to leave soon.” Satisfied that I was placated, she smiled, putting a finger to her lips, and she left as quietly as she came in. Between apartments we sometimes stayed with my grandmother Gladys, crowding onto her sofa bed. I would not come to recognize my grandmother’s fun side, her love of jazz and preference for Miles Davis over Bing Crosby during the Christmas holidays, until I was much older. She took a girlish pleasure in dancing, putting on family skits and, believing her feet to be her best feature, decorating her toes with rings. As a small child, I knew her only as dour Gladys, with her tight headscarves, drab clothes and large purses that hung flat and old-ladyish from her shoulder. I spent long days in her apartment, an interior of beige blandness. The plastic artificial flowers placed on the coffee table and end table to brighten the place had only added to the feeling of lifelessness. I recall sitting for hours with a small bag of candy to keep me quiet while she rocked away the hours in her rocking chair, frowning to herself. My grandmother hated cooking, so we ate most of our meals at Thrifty’s Drug Store. Catching sight of my mother wearing blue jeans could set my grandmother off on a tirade accompanied by tears. “Where did I go wrong?” she wailed. “God have mercy! You’re a good Catholic girl, Theresa; that’s how I raised you. You got to stick with your own kind—Creole people.” My mother would roll her eyes and I’d laugh. Her distress was so overstated that it held a comical quality. “The devil has the chile, Theresa. She’s an imp,” my grandmother yelled when I giggled over her ravings. “She’s a child, Mama,” my mother said. I’d dance around my grandmother, making faces, teasing her, hoping she’d lose her temper, while my mother lounged on the sofa. “You see?” my grandmother said. “You see what she’s doing? You better teach that little imp a lesson: slap her behind.” When she made a grab for me, I darted away, too quickly for her to catch. She’d stumble forward, clutching nothing but air, then give up and break into melodramatic sobs. Her despair fascinated me. Normal, everyday things like my braided kinky hair, fitted at the ends with colorful plastic barrettes, made her nervous.

  Although I felt safer when he was around, his fearsome tough look scared me into keeping my distance. Eleven months younger than my father, Uncle Joe looked eleven years older. My father maintained a trim figure, wore fashionable clothing and spoke in an elegant low timbre, rejecting the drawl of urban black speech in which consonants disappeared at the ends of words as though the speaker couldn’t be bothered to pronounce all the letters. He mimicked the suave mannerisms and tone of his favorite Hollywood actors, Cary Grant and Rock Hudson. Uncle Joe wore white tank tops, the fabric streaked with grease and straining across his hard, round belly. Tufts of hair shot out from the sides of his scalp, though the top of his head was smooth and shiny. At the end of a long day of work, he’d collapse into an easy chair and guzzle a few beers while having a smoke. Over the course of two years, my mother gradually receded in my mind to a ghostly shred of another time. She was no longer important in my day-to-day life. Then a phone call came in the middle of a winter afternoon. “Your mother,” Aunt Terry said, handing me the receiver. I reached for the phone, curious “Hello?” I said. “Hello, Celena? It’s me. Your mother.” The voice sounded unfamiliar, a stranger’s voice. “How are you?” she asked. “Fine.” “It’s my birthday. I’m thirty years old today. What do you think of that?” What did I think? Time had run away from us, but I was too young to process its passage. I had no words for the gay, bright woman on the other end of the line, her face blurry in my mind. Through the screen door I saw the neighborhood children riding their bikes. “I don’t know,” I said. I hung up without saying goodbye. I hadn’t stopped loving my mother. I just didn’t see how she fit into my life. She had become an abstraction, the woman who went to “that place,” the secret place adults spoke of in hushed voices, shooing me away so I wouldn’t overhear something I shouldn’t. After a time, my father became suspicious about Aunt Terry. Maybe a neighbor dropped a hint. Perhaps his own intuition caused him to wonder. “Tell me the truth,” he said one afternoon, squatting before me so we were eye to eye. “Is your Aunt Terry treating you right?” I stared at his earnest, handsome face. “Sweetie, don’t pick at your skin like that.” He pulled my hand away from my arm. I’d taken up the habit of digging my nails into my skin and peeling it off a little at a time. My aunt stood behind my father. Fear crackled in her gaze, her lips tucked in tightly. Anxiety hung like a cloak around Terry whenever my father came around. It showed in her nervous smile and the steady stream of cigarettes like miniature lifelines assuaging her shipwrecked psyche.

  so talking and drinking coffee while I’d played with my cousins. Before my father left, he hugged and kissed me and shook my uncle’s hand, thanking him and my aunt for their hospitality. Later that night my mom and Mary Ann had stopped by and taken me with them when they left. I’d thought she had told me we were to visit Synanon. Had she said we would live here? After the party celebrating my Synanon birthday, my mother had vanished. I couldn’t remember her saying goodbye or telling me when she might come back. I went over the events again and again like a connect-the-dots picture, searching for something I’d missed. How long would I be in Synanon and why hadn’t my father called to see how I was? The second night I inevitably began to cry as the enormity of the situation weighed on me, and try as I might to contain my sobs in my pillow, Sophie eventually woke up and tiptoed across the floor. Her weight sank into the mattress as she sat down and leaned over to stroke my brow. “What’s wrong?” she asked. “I want to see my mom.” “Don’t worry. Theresa will come back.” Sophie’s words did not console me. My limited possessions that I’d brought to Synanon, not only my clothes, but also my most treasured baby doll, had been confiscated. In place of my own things, I’d received a stack of clothing that matched that of the other children. Linda pulled out one of the drawers in Sophie’s dresser. All of her white t-shirts were rolled tightly into tubular forms and stacked neatly end-to-end. “This is how we keep our clothes,” Linda said. “Sophie will show you how to roll them.” Linda pulled out another drawer, which held all of Sophie’s pants, rolled the same way. Before she closed the drawers, Linda glanced at me.

  I may have yelled for Brett not to cross; or maybe I didn’t. I do not remember. A car shot out from around the curve of the highway. A giant wave of metal swept Brett off his feet. His body flipped onto the hood, bounced high into the air, then fell to the pavement. A tennis shoe landed at my feet. The car kept moving. Inside it, black-haired children with large, dark, round eyes screamed against the unfolding nightmare. As if the driver were on a mission to kill my friend, the car slowed, pushing Brett’s body down the highway. In the passenger seat, a woman clutched at the driver’s arm while he remained bent over the steering wheel. One moment I was at the side of the road; the next I was up the driveway by the building, but behind a chain-linked fence. The car pulled over and children poured out. The woman clutched a red-faced baby, all mouth, its cries shrill and loud. She and the man talked over each other in Spanish. Brett lay abandoned, curled up on the road, slowly, noiselessly opening his mouth like a fish on dry land. His body convulsed with one big shudder, then he was still. It seemed the occupants of the car were on the run. From what I didn’t know. Later I discovered that the driver had stolen the car. He had five children of his own, but if not for his wife, he wouldn’t have pulled over. Brett was not killed. He remained alive, but in a comatose state for quite a while. After he was released from the hospital, he returned to the Synanon school, where he became the business of the demonstrators. We were told that we could look at Brett, but we needed to keep quiet in his room. One by one, we stepped up to the large crib where he slept like a giant toddler and peered at his still form. He slept for days. Once in a while he opened his vacant brown eyes and looked around. Everything he’d learned throughout the eight years of his life, his personal experiences, which made him uniquely Brett had all been wiped from his mind. He did not even know his name. Gradually he stayed awake for longer periods, but didn’t talk. He’d become an infant again. He didn’t understand anything. We talked to him like he was a newborn. Sometimes he would smile. After some weeks he began to speak, but only one word at a time. Most communication consisted of reminding him of the word or name for each and every thing. He would point at objects, and we would tell him, “That’s a sock.” “That’s paper.” “Those are flowers.” “Yes, that’s your nose.” Within a month, he recovered a slow, stuttering form of speech accompanied by rapid blinking. Later he became strong enough to use a wheelchair.

  and ripe for exploration. Possibly she sought to reclaim a childhood she had not lived properly herself. At fourteen years old, my mother was forced into the maternal role of caring for her brothers after my grandmother Gladys was struck down in her prime by debilitating depression, taking to her bed for years. The smothering sadness returned to stalk Theresa during her own experience of motherhood. I have vague recollections of the various men in whose homes we stayed. A house on stilts, the door in the kitchen opening to a spindly forest of trees, with no balcony to block a bone-breaking fall. A bowl of sprouts left on the table for me to eat, my mother and her friend behind his closed bedroom door. Alone in the hum of silence, I watched faint dust funnels swirl in the fading light. When the door opened and her friend emerged, his long, dusky brown hair spilling over pale naked shoulders, I ran to the futon bed where my mother lay curled under blankets. She lifted them for me and I wiggled myself into the curve of her body. Later we sat cross- legged on the bed, accepting her friend’s offerings of little white boxes, neat and compact like birthday presents, with the flaps open, long thin sticks thrusting out of them. Inside one of the boxes was something slick and gelatinous. The other held rice mixed with bits of carrots and pink, crescent-shaped things. I poked my finger into the slimy stuff. “Chinese food,” he said, also sitting cross-legged, his penis, shrunken and limp, tucked away under a thick cloud of pubic hair. At the house of a different friend, my mother washed dishes, completely at home in his kitchen. I wandered into the yard: a jumble of unattended shrubbery, dead grass and dirt patches. On the inside crease of my left arm is a pale little wrinkle, a scar where his dog bit me. I remember nothing of the attack, only the man shaking me so hard afterward that I was too shocked to cry. “What did I tell you, huh? Huh?” he demanded. “You were teasing him. That’s why he bit you. I told you not to tease my dog.”
