A CHRONICLE OF ANXIETY & HOPE
Lee Reinecke, a three-time victim of child sexual assault, grapples with a turbulent marriage and the parenting of three edge-walking sons. Shades of gray in her charismatic husband's professional and interpersonal life rock her black and white world one decade after another. Can Lee's training as a psychologist, her faith, and her snarky sense of humor usher her from co-dependency to serenity?
what readers are saying
"This is truly an exceptional book in that the author gives us both a personal and professional view of childhood abuse and its aftermath. There are many layers to such abuse that are not readily apparent to its victims, who are typically too fixated on their own safety to analyze what's actually happening to them. But here the victim is a professionally trained psychologist, who offers unique insights into the emotional and intellectual struggles that confront and often paralyze victims of abuse. This is must reading for those who either suffer from or counsel those who have been abused.”
