| In Shadow and Strength
| | Beth Louise
| As a child, Beth Louise thought it was normal to feel afraid all the time. To feel responsible. Existing as the plaything, caretaker and prey of the adults around her. Trying to be a good girl. Trying to make everything right for everyone. Doing what she was told. Even if it felt wrong. Even if it hurt.
Much of her early adult life was spent running through time afraid to look behind her. Pretending everything was fine, while carrying the weight of her painful beginnings. Still feeling small and vulnerable. Still feeling frightened and alone. Doing the very best she could. Longing for a sense of peace and safety. Never realizing that it was the child of her past who would lead her there.
“In Shadow and Strength… piecing together the fragments of a shattered childhood” shares a healing journey beyond the limitations that so often exist in the aftermath of child abuse and neglect. Through a moving collection of memories and impressions from a traumatic childhood, this beautifully written book illuminates the strength and resilience that can be found in the shadows of tragic beginnings. Revealing an instinct for survival in a child’s fighting spirit that helps an adult heal some deep and lasting wounds.
“In Shadow and Strength” is a book for those who have lived through childhood trauma, but it is also a book for those who have not. Because the issue of child abuse and neglect is a universal reality that touches us all. More information is available at www.inshadowandstrength.com.
