• W76529523 abstract "When we find a person whose childhood and adolescence is marked by parental deaths, step family ridicule, deceitful and demanding relatives, abandonment to a commune, multiple placements and constant degradation from the only sib, we expect an adult with multiple problems with interpersonal relationships and self concept. That is the clinician in us.When that adult has a successful career, a rewarding spousal relationship, a loving child and a book on the New York Times best seller list, we fall back on our clinical lore about resiliency. If, however, we live and read only wearing our clinical hats, we will miss books like these.Blackbird (age five to twelve) and Still Waters (thirteen to adulthood) are Jennifer Lauck’s autobiographical books with all the above and more. We will all have seen children with more disasters in their life but, more telling, we will have seen more children with less who cannot function, let alone succeed, in life. How did she do this and how does she bring this experience home to us?When her only, and hated, sibling turns out to be different than her childhood image and when the promise of his future turns tragic, the seeds of change are sown in Jennifer. Later failed relationships and inner confusion bring the recognition that all is not well with her world. She begins the search for understanding. While this leads her to a supportive therapist, it is clear that the intense will to survive, shown during life’s earlier forced changes is now transformed into a more arduous inner journey. Using her journalistic research skills, she travels throughout several states to revisit her past and collect the interviews and documentation that culminate in writing the narrative that enables her to rediscover herself and her strengths. The unfailing support of her husband and a child, who reintroduces her to unconditional love, complete the journey to a fulfilling adulthood for her.Jennifer’s life is captured literally and figuratively by the many recurring details that hold significance and meaning for her. The story of Snow White enters the book over the years, each time with renewed understanding as she grows. Early photographs in her parent’s wedding album bring reassurance, history and awaken old connections. Her pink trunk holds it all together on the inside and the family table, chairs and princess bed bring the external support and presence of her family.The compelling power and page turning fascination of Jennifer Lauck’s books come from more than the events. She is an accomplished author whose first person singular account from inside the eyes of a child makes the books a unique and absorbing experience. She brings us back to a childhood world of sights, smells, gestures, thinking and emotions by finding her voice as five year old preliterate Jennifer. We grow with her and experience her presence so directly that there is no need for the observations and interpretations of the adult or the clinician. She is remarkably capable of conveying the unknowing and naive acceptance of a child, the perception of secrets of the adult world and the slow, insidious development of mistrust of adult relationships. We arrive before we know we are there.Yes, it is a first hand account of resiliency (and the factors are there), and it was that hint that peaked my interest in the books but is was her power as a writer that drew me far past my clinical world. Jennifer’s journey is a testament to the human spirit and the will to survive. With the tragedies that our world brings to our children on a daily basis around this planet, we need more Jennifers. Write on! And to you, reader, buy these books, read on!" @default.
