The Blooming of the Lotus: A Spiritual Journey from Trauma Into Light

A resource for trauma survivors, "This ground-breaking poetic memoir takes you on Robin Brooks's deeply personal journey of healing. Travelling into the abyss of her past, exploring the depths of her experiences with brutal incest, violence, and torture, it follows her awe-inspiring quest for the uncovering of her authentic self... I have heard many accounts of trauma over the years, yet it is rare to come upon one captured so perfectly and expressed with such candor, beauty, and grace... Robin's inexhaustible courage, perseverance, and insight through the maze of self-discovery and healing are reflected on every page. She poignantly reveals her deepest vulnerability in an effort to share her story and process with other survivors. With great success she conveys that the journey from the darkest imprisonment to the light of freedom is indeed possible. This memoir is Robin's gift to us all." AnDreya Wilde, Ph.D
