“A courageous and finely crafted portrait of a young woman struggling with her family, her faith, and that awkward space between being a child and growing into adulthood.”—Star Tribune (Minneapolis) “Unimaginable . . . As much an indictment of Christian Science as it is a memoir of her family’s experience of loss.”—O: the Oprah Magazine Lucia Ewing had what looked like an all-American childhood, but when it came to accidents and illnesses, her parents didn’t take their kids to the doctor’s office—they prayed and called a Christian Science practitioner. As a teenager, her visit to an ophthalmologist created a family crisis, and she was a sophomore in college before she had her first annual physical. In December 1985, when Lucia and her siblings, by then young adults, discovered that their mother was sick, they came face-to-face with the reality that they had few—if any—options to save her. Powerless as their mother suffered, they were grief-stricken, angry, and confused. In this haunting, beautifully written book, Lucia pulls back the curtain on the Christian Science faith and chronicles its complicated legacy for her family. At once an essentially American coming-of-age story and a glimpse into the practices of a religion few really understand, fathermothergod is an unflinching exploration of personal loss and the boundaries of family and faith.
Children of Imprisoned Parents
For too long, the adverse impacts of parental incarceration have remained in the shadows. This book and its companion workbook, Children of Imprisoned Parents: A Workbook for Holistic Caregiver and Child Well-Being (ISBN 978-1-4766-8717-9), illuminate the hidden challenges, helping caregivers to understand children's stress-response systems and enabling them to recognize how anxiety and grief may manifest in a child's daily behaviors. How do you recover from the pain of telling children mistruths about parental arrest and imprisonment? How does parental incarceration affect child development and the body-brain connection? Are children of incarcerated parents prone to incarceration themselves? With sensitivity and clarity, the authors address a range of questions including such tough topics as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma, childhood suicide ideation, and grief and loss. Readers will find evidence-based, trauma-informed interventions and practical tools to promote coping, emotional regulation, and stress reduction. Trauma-responsive and healing-centered approaches empower caregivers and their children to thrive in the face of daunting challenges.
