This unvarnished story recounts the tumultuous road to recovery of two six-year-olds adopted from Ukraine and takes the reader through a mosaic of emotions from anger and frustration to laughter and bewilderment.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  This action-packed drama of the family’s first seven years reads like fiction, but it’s real. The high-stakes adventure is replete with volatile behaviors, love, intrigue, sadness, police intervention, unwavering faith, doggedness, emotional fluctuations, and humor. Three main characters emerge, along with a large supporting cast of friends, family, neighbors, and community: 1) Alec, born prematurely to a substance-abusing mother, who spent the early part of his life swathed in a blanket cocoon almost devoid of human touch; 2) Alyona, found on the streets at age four or five and returned to the orphanage by her Italian adoptive family after only six weeks due to her aggressive behavior; 3) Nancy, a single, early fiftyish professional who feels called to adopt these children. The antagonist in this saga is the history of abuse and abandonment, but the real heroes are the children, who emerge from the abyss of hopelessness to live lives of confidence, love, and expectation.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eHealing Emotional Wounds-A Story of Overcoming the Long Hard Road to Recovery from Abuse and Abandonment \u003c\/i\u003eaffirms the hope of healing through commitment, hard work, extensive family and friend support, a “never quit” attitude, and an unyielding resilience and focus.","brand":"Morgan James Publishing llc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54245663998296,"sku":"9781614486961","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781614486961_487982da-a50d-45b8-ba09-9372b4b5eca8.jpg?v=1765433743","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/healing-emotional-wounds-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
