Rory's ability to inhabit the wounded, confused, and desperate child he was is astounding, and, in his prose, that ephemeral place that divides reader from author seems to evaporate. But it is Kaplan's iron will to overcome the abuse and trauma that scarred his youth and find love and immense meaning from life that will remain with the reader long after the book is finished. -Rena Lipiner Katz, author, A Life Inherited
The Life Journey of a Survivor of Childhood Trauma
Rory D. Kaplan was a young child when he first experienced physical and verbal abuse inflicted by his parents. Childhood innocence transformed into fear, confusion, and internal conflicts that would plague him throughout his life. He had to learn to deal with the psychological and emotional pain that many adult survivors suffer from.
This deeply personal story explains how the trauma affected his life journey, driving the actions he took and the decisions he made. The reader is taken through the experiences, friendships, and relationships that helped him cope. His often amusing and always heartwarming storytelling illustrates the adventurous road he traveled to overcome the anguish of his past, recover, and find peace in his life.
Rory's fascinating book is inspiring and encouraging, especially for those who have suffered the damaging effects of childhood trauma.
