K.D. Roche is a nationally recognized speaker, author and human trafficking field expert. Having lived through a parent’s addiction and child sex-trafficking, K.D. is now an advocate for victims of sexual exploitation, consulting for organizations such as the Office for Victims of Crime, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center. In Fragments: A Post-Traumatic Paradigm, K.D. offers a glimpse into the intricate way that a child’s mind processes traumatic experiences--in a sensory and non-linear fashion. Through a first person account of his experiences, follow him as he navigates through a parent’s addiction, bouncing from one house to the next and being sex trafficked during summers and holiday breaks from school. K.D. learns to separate his mind from his body, disconnecting thoughts, memories and even his identity in an effort to survive continual abuse and neglect. In this compilation of memoir, poetry, and creative non-fiction, readers will recognize vulnerabilities that lead to exploitation and abuse, including generational trauma, neglect and mental illness. Witness how perpetrators recruit and groom their victims and the tactics they use to keep them silent while following K.D. through many stages of child development. Understand the impact that recurring, compounded trauma has on the health and development of a person, affecting how they process information, emotion and memory. This book contains mature content for mature audiences.

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on standard-sized books weighing up to 4 LB, or 1.8 KG. If your book order is heavy and/or over-sized and the shipping address is OUTSIDE of The United States, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.

At Mahler Books, we make no attempt to over-charge for shipping. Sometimes International buyers are surprised to discover the high cost of shipping heavy or over-sized books.
If you are located OUTSIDE of The United States, and you are ordering a heavy or over-sized book, the shipping costs are estimated to be about 42 US dollars. This is the cost of the Global Priority Flat Rate Box. I agree that this shipping cost seems excessive, but this is what the Postal Service charges me, and this is the cheapest rate I have been able to locate for large books weighing over 1.8 KG.
