This insightful and playful book will encourage you to reflect on your own life and help you get the healing you are seeking.

A unique blend of memoir and healing practices, author Ann Mracek takes you along in real time through the process of emptying her parents’ home as they transitioned into assisted living. Told with humor, honesty, and empathetic insight, she expertly weaves the vivid stories of her childhood with compassion and the intent to heal and forgive.

This book will guide you to gain adult perspective and show you how to send love and acceptance back in time to the child still living within.
