In this seminal new study of resilience, Meg Jay tells the stories
of a diverse group of people who have overcome trauma in their
childhoods to go on and live successful lives as adults. These are
the 'supernormal', who having shouldered greater than average
hardship as children defy expectation and achieve better than
average success as adults. But how, and at what cost? Whether it
was experiencing parental divorce, or growing up with an alcohol or
drug-abusing parent, living with a parent or sibling with mental
illness, being bullied, living in poverty, being a witness to
domestic violence, suffering physical or emotional neglect, the
people Meg Jay introduces us to are all survivors. She explores
what they have in common that made it possible for them to
transcend the trauma of their early years and to build successful
adult lives. And she asks the questions: What was the cost of
developing those powers? And having survived, even thrived, how do
you go on and build a trusting, fulfilled life? Drawing on her
clinical experience with survivors of childhood trauma, Meg Jay
documents ordinary people made extraordinary by the experience of
all-too-common trauma. Bringing together personal, scientific and
cultural knowledge Jay gives a voice to the experience of the
'supernormal', furnishes them with the tools to better understand
themselves and take full advantage of their strengths, and gives a
window into their world for those who seek to understand them.
