How do we begin to describe our love for our children? Pamela Richardson shows us with her passionate memoir of life with and without her estranged son, Dash. From age five, Dash suffered Parental Alienation Syndrome at the hands of his father. Indoctrinated to believe his mother had abandoned him, after years of monitored phone calls and impeded access, eight-year-old Dash decided he didn't want to be 'forced' to visit her at all; later, he told her he would never see her again if she took the case to court. But, he didn't count on his indefatigable mother's fierce love. For eight more years, Pamela battled Dash's father, the legal system, their psychologist, the school system, and Dash himself to try and protect her son - first from his father, then from himself. A Kidnapped Mind is a heartrending and mesmerising story of a Canadian mother's exile from and reunion with her child, through grief and beyond, to peace.

"Alchemistic Thoughts" is about everyday life and struggles that most of us face. It is also about peace, love, happiness and change. The poems and messages that you receive in this book is a great impact in changing the bad to good and the negative to positive.

I believe this book is an eye opener for people of today because of the day to day soreness we go through. We all face abuse, relationship betrayal, jealousy, a lack of facts and more. Many of us are destroying relationships, friendships, family and others because we keep hatred in the heart and we can't accept change. We can't accept when others have more. Some of us think we know what's bested for others, when we know nothing. Learn to stand up on your own and stop trying to out do others. Keep peace in your life, change your old habits and conquer your dreams. I know most of us don't know the way out or have the right resources too over come battles in our life. "But keep pushing" I hope this book helps others in different ways to change their life around and to go after their dreams. Keep negative influence away because it will bring you down. Do to others the way you would like them to do to you. Not everyone is out to destroy you.
