Book Description
"Revolving Doors" is an adult, autobiographical novel in which 'Richard', now in his sixties, recalls incidents of his nightmarish first five years of childhood, while fostered through seventeen residences as a ward of Toronto's "S.W.York Co. Children's Aid Society". From his perspective and understanding as a small child, he shares graphic details of memories of unspeakably perverse mistreatment, including perpetual neglect, abuse, molestation and worse. After years of counselling and treatment for ensuing, debilitating mental illnesses, "Richard" experienced a "black-out", resulting in the sudden awareness of long-buried, traumatic memories. The author furnishes vivid details of her brother's incredible story by interweaving his recollections, and relentless nightmares, with documentation from the organizations involved. It is "Richard's" most sincere desire that his story of ultimate survival might encourage similar abuse victims who may be searching for hope in facing and fighting their own "demons".

Book Description
RAPED!!! "PRESUMED INNOCENCE" is an adult autobiographical novel which graphically depicts Ms. Ketteringham's true memories of her childhood experience of having been deceived, lured, restrained and raped at 14. For over 50 years, these memories have haunted her thoughts and fueled her emotional roller-coaster. Details were gleaned from recurrent nightmares, hypnotherapy, psychotherapeutic hypnotic age regressions and journals. Courageously, desiring for cathartic release of pain, the author peers through snaking veils of her soul to confront her demons and understand memories of childhood abuse and sexual victimization imprinted onto her brain. This memoir is about the author's pain, resilience and hope-the miracle of her story. Sharing details of her sexual exploitation was the catalyst for the resulting abreaction which has set her soul free from agony's bondage. She hopes her courage may help other victims reconcile similar memories and move towards their personal psychological wellness.

If you have ever wondered what it’s really like to be a foster parent, this book will help you gain a true understanding of the everyday trials and triumphs these moms and dads face. It will also inspire you to consider opening your door…and to leave it wide open.

Book Description
. Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.
