The Story
Broken Water
I was three years old when I entered the orphanage. Here is a picture of me with a sister's arm around me. I wasn't unhappy. I didn't miss my mother. I was surrounded by the love and nurturance of my sisters. But, as is the case with most abandoned children, we were eventually separated and placed into foster care.
I was traumatized by the separation from my sisters. I would carry that within my broken heart for forty-three years. Until...
"Broken Water" tells the true story of my journey to survive an abusive foster home while seeking to reunite with my sisters. It invites the reader to journey with me through a miraculous reunion followed by a fifteen-year effort to learn my family's history and to write each sister's heart-wrenching story of abuse and abandonment. It shares our experiences while living in orphanages, foster care and adoptions. Sadly, the stories of children in the system today are hauntingly familiar.
"Broken Water" is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the strength of a bonded sisterhood, and the power found in having faith in miracles and something greater than the self.

BECOMING THE ADULT YOUR INNER CHILD NEEDS: Nine Steps to Rescue Your Abused Inner Child.
Everyone has a vulnerable inner child just waiting for recognition and love. The lucky ones received these gifts from primary caretakers, but all too often, some are left trying to fill a void throughout their lives.
This unmet need is carried forward into adulthood and sometimes leads to choices and decisions that are harmful and nonproductive. The need to attach and bond to a loving caretaker is innate but if unfulfilled, can cause destructive choices with partners, jobs, etc. Unconsciously, as driven by the inner child, individuals look outside of themselves to fill that emptiness. Rarely does this end in a happily ever after story.
"Becoming the Adult Your Inner Child Needs," presents a concise yet powerful nine-step program to help you learn how to give your inner child all that is needed to overcome trauma, enhance emotional maturity, experience joy and creativity, and discover the magnificence you were born to embrace. Together, the adult and inner child become one integrated and whole individual. You are the best person to rescue your abused inner child. Find out how.
