Breaking the cycle of child abuse is quite literally a life and death proposition... Diana Joy had to find the strength inside herself to face her past so that she could break the cycle of pain for herself and for the children she is priviledged to help everyday in her home and through the Unseen Child Foundation. This amazing story of survival against overwhelming obstacles - both internal and external, physical and emotional - takes you into the world of a small child who is abused and crying out - although no one in her world was listening. The young Diana coped in the only way she could, by making an inner world where she was safe and understood. Diana describes in vivid detail the faces of her siblings and of herself in an attempt to educate those working with children to recognize the silent screams for attention, help and most of all understanding. Graced at an early age with an introduction to God, Diana was able to endure, grow, forgive and finally thrive as an adult. She drew from the strength of this unseen friend, God to help her through. If you are an unseen child, you re not alone. This book is intended to give you the tools to become seen. If you work with children, Diana s message will give you insights into the unseen child s painful world, so that you will be able to reach them in a profound, meaningful and potentially life-saving way. - from Amzon
