Winner of the Benjamin Franklin Silver Award for Parenting and Family Issues, this story chronicles the journey of a Marin County, California father to understand what led his seventeen-year-old daughter, Casey, to take her life. He travels back to her abandonment at birth and adoption from a Polish orphanage at fourteen months, through her happy childhood and her turbulent adolescence, searching for answers. In most respects, Casey was a perfectly normal girl – beautiful, smart and popular, accepted at an elite college. But she also had troubling behaviors that no one understood, including mental health professionals.
His search leads to a condition known as attachment disorder, an affliction common among children who have been abandoned, neglected or abused.
It explained everything.
The Benjamin Franklin literary award, administered by the Independent Book Publishers Association, is regarded as one of the highest national honors for independent and self-publishers.
