Nancy's labor pains were harsh and long, close to seven years, in
fact. Conceived by Ukrainian parents, her two adopted children,
Alyona and Alec, began their rebirth six years later in an American
city near the East Coast shoreline.
"Healing Emotional Wounds-A Story of Overcoming the Long Hard Road
to Recovery from Abuse and Abandonment"""is a compelling chronicle
of metamorphosis that gives testament to the power of love,
encouragement, and resolve over the desperate circumstances of
abuse, neglect, and abandonment. This unvarnished story recounts
the tumultuous road to recovery of two six-year-olds adopted from
Ukraine and takes the reader through a mosaic of emotions from
anger and frustration to laughter and bewilderment.
This action-packed drama of the family's first seven years reads
like fiction, but it's real. The high-stakes adventure is replete
with volatile behaviors, love, intrigue, sadness, police
intervention, unwavering faith, doggedness, emotional fluctuations,
and humor. Three main characters emerge, along with a large
supporting cast of friends, family, neighbors, and community: 1)
Alec, born prematurely to a substance-abusing mother, who spent the
early part of his life swathed in a blanket cocoon almost devoid of
human touch; 2) Alyona, found on the streets at age four or five
and returned to the orphanage by her Italian adoptive family after
only six weeks due to her aggressive behavior; 3) Nancy, a single,
early fiftyish professional who feels called to adopt these
children. The antagonist in this saga is the history of abuse and
abandonment, but the real heroes are the children, who emerge from
the abyss of hopelessness to live lives of confidence, love, and
expectation.
"Healing Emotional Wounds-A Story of Overcoming the Long Hard Road
to Recovery from Abuse and Abandonment "affirms the hope of healing
through commitment, hard work, extensive family and friend support,
a "never quit" attitude, and an unyielding resilience and focus.
