Something dreadful happened on the way to adulthood for far too many children. Perhaps you’re one of them. Perhaps the childhood you so desperately wanted didn’t happen for you. Instead, your childhood wasn’t something you dreamed about; your childhood was a nightmare you survived. And for some of you, just barely.
Childhood is supposed to be a loving, nurturing, and empowering time for children to be strengthened and supported into adulthood. When childhood abuse enters into that picture, that reality becomes torn and tattered. How do you find a way to pick up those fragments of your life and move forward?

Dr. Gregory Jantz and Ann Murray provide the compassion and insight that so many adults need to help understand the “why” of their childhood abuse. Then, they provide the hope, tools and guidance to help them in their recovery to a more happy, balanced and prosperous future.
Reading this book has given me more insight into the world of those who have been abused. Too many people suffer from abuse, and I recommend reading this book to help address the issue and to help ourselves and/or others around us. I'm thankful that Dr. Jantz wrote this book for everyone to experience!
This book has been insightful and very impacting!
So timely and so needed by many (maybe most) of us. My sense is that there are millions who carry shame, far and guilt from childhood and need find resolution. This book is incredibly helpful in helping understand what happened during a troubled childhood, why it did, and how to find resolution and peace. Thank you for writing this book. Most highly recommended.
