Synopsis

Clinical psychologist Dan Hughes' first book of poems draws inspiration from a lifetime's work with children and young people from traumatic early backgrounds. Each poem reflects Dan's extraordinary capacity to notice and value even the most subtle and transitory movement in a child's face, indicative of what might be going on inside him or her. The poems and Dan's commentaries on what inspired them reveal his profound understanding of the pain, hurt and yearning fostered and adopted children carry with them, and the strength and courage it takes for them to begin to believe that some adults can be trusted. A book for everyone who cares about children.
