The first word
that comes to my mind about this book is “Amazing”. There is truly no other
word for it.
Being human,
we all have dreams & hopes for ourselves and visions of how our lives
should be. Sometimes those dreams come true and sometimes they don’t. Carolyn
Nash was an ordinary woman like you and me, with her own set of dreams &
regrets. One of Carolyn’s regrets was that she did not have a child of her own.
This was something she could remedy. She adopted a child who came from a family
of parental abuse. This book deals with her journey there on. Dealing with a
child is no ordinary task and it gets even harder when the child is dealing
with PTSD. Treatment, medicines and therapists become a lifestyle for Carolyn
and Abel. Raising Abel also in many ways forces Carolyn to come to terms with
her own life and issues.
Often while reading
memoirs or autobiographies I question whether the author has been completely
truthful? Has this person been honest about his feelings and reactions? But in
this particular case, I have no doubt. The author has been able to connect with
her audience so well, that I felt that I knew her personally and was able to
feel what she felt!
sounds like a good read! new follower, would love a follow back
