Healing and Bonding With Truth The authors are very clear: our kids come first. And if the truth make us uncomfortable, here are the tools to help. The book begins with an exploration of the damage secrets can do to families, to relationships, to individuals - to our children. We are challenged to face our own insecurities and fears in order to tell our children the truth with age appropriate tools; to help us start and expand discussions as their ability to understand words and concepts grows. And this book covers them all - death, rape, incest, crime, drugs, mental illness, abandonment - words that hurt every parent's heart and move us to shelter and protect through silence. The lesson of this book is that shelter and protection are truly found in truth.
