180deg-Emerging from Childhood Darkness-Vallente

From children's book author Danielle Saintard Valiente -- whose Smunchkin Learns book series has empowered children to embrace the power of bravery, friendship and loyalty -- comes a heartbreakingly raw memoir about growing up without the innocence and comforts of a storybook childhood. 180 Degrees: Emerging from Childhood Darkness is Danielle's debut book for the adult market and has been heralded as "raw, courageous and authentic."

It's an unforgettable story about a young woman who fought her way out of a terrifying and abusive childhood, emerging from emotional darkness into the light of a life that finally offered safety and possibility. Open the pages of this book to discover how a teenager -- with nothing but perseverance and hope -- left her toxic family, walked through the fires of homelessness and financial struggle, confronted her deep-rooted emotional demons, and began to build -- for the very first time -- a clear sense of purpose that goes beyond mere survival.
