First published in 1990, NEARI Press is proud to be reprinting one of the clas-sics in the literature about survivors. Within this text are the stories of twenty survivors who know that "the best revenge is living well". Prevailing over a childhood of sexual and physical abuse, neglect, parental substance abuse and witnessing domestic violence, Linda Sanford asks them to look back and help us all understand how they fared so well. One of the first popular books on resiliency, Strong at the Broken Places was written for every survivor, friend, family member, mentor or helping professional who seeks the path towards self-forgiveness and healing.
