High Desert by Kim Douglas
Deeply moving memoir with a holistic approach to overcome the effects of growing up in a severely abusive home. High Desert is a well-written, courageous, gripping, and deeply personal autobiographical account that offers one person's experience and shows in detail how her spiritual beliefs enabled her to grow as a person and heal her life in ways that go beyond traditional twelve-step programs and other approaches. In this eye-opening account, writer Kim Douglas reveals a wide range of issues that will be familiar to many who have come from similar circumstances: eating disorders, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, troubled relationships with friends and other family members. Most important is the author's insight and guide to finding effective ways to cope with life's challenges, learning to trust others in a close relationship, parenting without repeating the cycle of abuse, healing relationship's with the abuser, and forgiving those who don't help in a time of crisis.
