This volume is a part of Dr. Ziegler’s Success Series on important topics related to working with challenging young people. The goal of this book is to bring together issues involving real children, sharing their actual stories—from childhood abuse, through intensive help in the healing process, and following up in subsequent years to see the results in their lives.
The stars of these stories are the children who faced lives where the odds were stacked against them from the beginning, yet they found the strength to risk being vulnerable and accept help. In these pages, twelve troubled children are presented—each different, each with a unique outcome. However, the common theme throughout is the courage to rise above the past for a better tomorrow.
