No Simple Highway: The Life Journey of a Childhood Trauma Survivor - Paperback

by Rory D. Kaplan (Author)

"Rory's ability to inhabit the wounded, confused, and desperate child he was is astounding, and, in his prose, that ephemeral place that divides reader from author seems to evaporate. But it is Kaplan's iron will to overcome the abuse and trauma that scarred his youth and find love and immense meaning from life that will remain with the reader long after the book is finished." -Rena Lipiner Katz, author, A Life Inherited
