0-06-019762-5  Laura Davis, I thought We’d Never Speak Again. New York: HarperCollins Publishers Inc, 2002 ($24.95)

 

Laura Davis' book speaks to the emotionally-laden need to live on after confronting childhood abuse and doing so with courage in reclaiming wounded relationships and in restoring personal confidence.  It's about acknowledging and healing with many significant examples drawn from people who know the pain and are walking the talk.  I recommend this book highly as a guide that can bring hope and clarity to many caught up in their crippling histories.  It is a valuable resource also for helping us understand and appreciate the obstacles to change and the keys to forgiveness.
