Thank you, Kim for this lucid and compassionate explanation of the emotional reality of traumatized children. I hope you make this topic the subject of your next book. I'm well-versed in the literature of sustained childhood trauma; I believe you have a unique ability to create empathy between the wounded people in the world and those of us who may be more fortunate.

Thank you Kim. One day I will be at a branch in the road with a future foster child and I will remember this piece as I wrestle with how to react.
