Common Threads: Stories of Life After Trauma

This is the story of two psychotherapists who have worked in the field of trauma and healing. They join together for the purpose of creating a book, which brings the reader inside the lives of frightened children. Through art, poetry and short stories the reader travels through time as these children grow, change, make choices and become adults. The threads of abuse follow them influencing their lives in what appears to be mysterious ways. This book brings us closer to the reality of the far-reaching effects of trauma and child sexual abuse. At the same time, it is the story of courage, resiliency and the ability to heal. There is one purpose for this literary journey - healing.
