When someone shares with you that they don't speak with their parent, understand that it was a heavy decision to make.

Behaviors have consequences, and it typically comes from a place of recovery and healing. It's hard to heal when you cannot get out of the flight/flight mode.
Estrangement as a Trauma-Informed Choice
Understanding estrangement as a trauma-informed choice shifts the focus from judgment to compassion for those protecting themselves from family abuse.

Was in the local bookstore with my daughter, looking at some books.

Checked in to see sales of my book and...

Two on hold and the rest sold!

Very cool. Hope they ask for more.

Nervous and excited.

I wrangled up a 'runner up' and 3 'honorable mentions' at the regional festivals. Not wins, but still notable.

My first attempt at a book award netted me an Honourable Mention at the New York Book Festival! For general non-fiction, probably should have gone for the 'memoir' category.

Well, it's official. I'm overwhelmed. I never expected anything like this. I feel validated and seen.

This was incredibly difficult to write, but my sister's story needed to be written. Thank you to everyone who's bought it.

This is why you need to support your local #bookstore.

Square Books just sent me a certificate of achievement for selling the most books during a 2 month probation period!

The sales from their store, in 2 months, far surpassed any online service over almost a year.

New review on Goodreads.

Curious though, this review reads the same as the numerous AI generated marketing scam emails I get every day. Makes me wonder if it is genuine.
