About this audiobook

Erased. Still Here. is a creative memoir by Scott Cornfoot that explores the lasting psychological impact of institutional abuse and shame within the world of competitive figure skating. Through a hybrid narrative form, the author introduces Ledger, a personified literary device representing the "counting mind" developed to survive trauma and emotional neglect. The text vividly depicts the contrast between the artistic beauty of the sport and the clinical cruelty of a coach who used public humiliation and weight stigma as tools of control. As the narrative transitions into adulthood, it illustrates how these early lessons in endurance and erasure manifest in modern struggles with financial instability, divorce, and the search for personal identity. Ultimately, the work serves as a record of institutional silence, the redemptive power of teaching, and the resilient return of joy.
