What readers say about Lies and Love:

“I love the concept of a ‘forever child'. How fun, imaginative and creative.”

Willa D. Meylink, Ph.D.
Director of Counseling4Kids

“The compassionate manner in which the Parenting Guide is written makes the information so easy to take in and put into practice.”

Cathy M., Adoptive Mother

“Mom, Ruby Rose is just like me! I lie when I am scared.”

JM, 13 Year Old Girl

“Reading about Ruby Rose helped me to see that we need to accept people the way they are."

JF, 10 year-old-boy

 

What readers say about Anger and Fear:

Matt says, “This is a lot like I was, yet I am still in the story. I’ve met the loving couple, but I don’t trust them yet. I am not so angry anymore, but I am still scared. I still worry about being sent away, but less than I used to.”

“The child in this story is my Matt and I hope our story ends as happily, with him feeling true security.”

Kathryn, Matt’s mother

“I liked the story because while written in fairy tale form, it was very real. The situation, the conflict and the resolve; all of this happens in everyday life. I especially liked how you showed an understanding of both Jean Paul’s point of view and that of the villagers.”

“It was good how you showed the mistakes of the first two couples and how common those mistakes are. I thought the third couple should have made some sort of mistake, because that is usually how it happens. Then the family recovers as a unit.”

Lindsay F., 16 Year Old Adoptee

What readers say about Loss and Impossible Dreams:

“This moving story and guide speaks clearly to parents. The tale enables them to understand the true story behind the puzzling and upsetting behaviors of traumatized and abandoned children, while the parenting guide tells them how they can parent children towards health by combining empathy and firmness.”

Emily Jernberg, Ph.D.

“This is a unique and much-needed contribution. We really appreciate the insight you provide in this very simple,yet powerful story both of us feel, after reading it, that we needed to continually remind ourselves of the overwhelming fear our boys experience and their desperate need for love and acceptance.”

“It is difficult to take a step back and look at the reason why they are reacting that way. . . but it is through these types of stories and advice from very knowledgeable people, like Bryan and Nancy that we find help in getting through to our children and therefore allowing them to become healthy loving individuals.”

Mary and Rolf, Adoptive Parents

“I can really relate to how Bella feels and acts. It makes me realize that I am not the only kid who has gone through separation from their birth parents.”

Bethany F., 14

What readers say about Silence and Shame:

“Nancy Clark's works provide insightful focus on the traumas that often shape children's lives. Silence and Shame is another example of her unique ability to address unspoken "secret" issues with not only credibility, but unusual sensitivity.”

D. Burris

“Very touching and emotion-provoking. The tale made me cry.”

K. R.

“A marvelous and riveting story. Told with the care and honesty that only Nancy Clark can offer. I loved it and will recommend it widely!”

Bryan Post, The Post Institute
