"A gripping account of the effects of a child's continual trauma and her
struggles for physical and emotional safety. Tracy May balances the horror of
relentless threat and fear with acts of kindness from others. A courageous and
inspirational story filled with huge characters and major legal precedents. Once
I started reading the book, I could not put it down. As a psychologist, I
recommend this exceptional addition to the understanding of trauma and
recovery."

and many forms of child abuse, including parental alienation. The story reflects

to the strength of the human spirit and a must read for anyone moving on from a
stormy past."
