Editorial Reviews

Adults who grew up in troubled families torn apart by abuse, violence, & constant turmoil carry within them painful memories. Yet they may have developed survival strategies... fundamentally spiritual in nature, such as attentiveness, empathy, and compassion. Using the Old & New Testaments, Buddhist & Sufi wisdom, the author reveals how "family pain broke us open and set our hearts on a pilgrimage in search of the love & belonging, safety & abundance, joy & peace...missing from our childhoods"
