Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-04 00:00:00 Chuck Gotti Loss I was that child who lost her parents at a young age, went to abusive relatives, went through 9 foster homes in 2 years. Though intellectually I get why I feel irrelevant, afraid of more loss, and disconnected from those around me, this book helped me connect a bit to it all. I am 60. Healing is a long and ardous journey.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-13 00:00:00 Robert Patton A fascinating study of a woman who suffered the loss of both parents as a pre-adolescent, was placed in foster care but with help from social programs, went to college, and became a psychiatrist. Using her own life and her continuing psychotherapy as the foundation of the book, her story was better than fiction. I enjoyed seeing her struggles turn into eventual progress and success.
