Raising low self-esteem is an essential part of the healing process for those of us recovering from addictions and those who still feel the pain of childhood wounds or abuse.

With wise stories and profound insight, Larsen shows us how we can follow our own path toward healing, "In the beginning and in the end, healing is about change. The pages here are about the spiritual alchemy involved in the amazing-grace process of personal transformation."
