"An extraordinary, eye-opening book." --People National Health
Information Awards winner "A rousing wake-up call. . . . This
highly engaging, provocative book prove[s] beyond a reasonable
doubt that millions of lives depend on us finally coming to terms
with the long-term consequences of childhood adversity and toxic
stress." --Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow Dr.
Nadine Burke Harris was already known as a crusading physician
delivering targeted care to vulnerable children. But it was
Diego--a boy who had stopped growing after a sexual assault--who
galvanized her journey to uncover the connections between toxic
stress and lifelong illnesses. The stunning news of Burke Harris's
research is just how deeply our bodies can be imprinted by
ACEs--adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect, parental
addiction, mental illness, and divorce. Childhood adversity changes
our biological systems, and lasts a lifetime. For anyone who has
faced a difficult childhood, or who cares about the millions of
children who do, the fascinating scientific insight and innovative,
acclaimed health interventions in The Deepest Well represent
vitally important hope for preventing lifelong illness for those we
love and for generations to come?. "Nadine Burke Harris . . .
offers a new set of tools, based in science, that can help each of
us heal ourselves, our children, and our world."--Paul Tough,
author of How Children Succeed "A powerful--even
indispensable--frame to both understand and respond more
effectively to our most serious social ills."--New York Times
