By Kim C. Metcalfe, Ph.D.

When Kim Metcalfe lost her 21-year-old daughter to suicide, it was a devastating blow. Her daughter, Abbey, was not a “troubled child”–she was planning her wedding and by all external signs happy and well adjusted. What brought the author back from her grief was the desire to keep other children and other families from the same trauma. This book is the result of her exploration.This book will help you understand how your children think, how their mental and emotional capabilities grow over time, and how you can help them to become confident, capable, and hopeful adults, able to deal with the blows that life inevitably throws at us.
