Book Review: great steps forward, 4 steps to recovery
Summary: 5 Stars
stephen and families with loved ones having fetal alcohol spectrum disorders; as i examine the way your/this book is written, the structure and the organization, let alone the humor and compassion within that layout and full story........i am completely in awe. your four step program of music, medication, meditation and a higher power are noteworthy in their directness and availability. we can all design a program for our child, children or even ourselves by taking these four simple prompts. i pray my 21 year old son with the same disorders can be as calm and settled as you are in his 50s; and i know your book will help to lessen his trauma in the world. the better people can understand how fasds feel from the inside the more we can modify and accommodate for those special needs. i want to read every syllable but so far i am just blown away by the logical and good common sense you are sharing in your book's format alone. thank U so much for writing this book. my fingers are just playing magically as i go back and forth from page to page- seeing what all lies ahead when i take it in order. your honesty about the trauma you endured without an appropriate diagnosis of your own fetal alcohol exposure [which caused organic brain damage brought about by your birth mom's use of alcohol while pregnant with you]-- this type of candor is not common in a field where still so much stigma and denial lie. your ability to be loving while frank, kind and forgiving while adressing explicitly the difficulties you endured pre-diagnosis-- well i have never seen anything like it. i agree that you should keep writing, keep speaking, keep telling stephen- because we need to listen.
ride those eagle's wings.
