No child grows up too quickly. Children who regularly experience trauma are exposed to more than they are capable of processing. As a result, they often present a facade which falsely conveys that they are more secure and mature than they really are.

Produktbeschreibung
No child grows up too quickly. Children who regularly experience trauma are exposed to more than they are capable of processing. As a result, they often present a facade which falsely conveys that they are more secure and mature than they really are. The consequences of such assumptions are potentially harmful to their health, development, and well-being. Just Enough Light is much more than a story chronicling the impact of divorce on a child raised by a parent suffering from mental illness, incapable of providing the necessary material and emotional support for her children. It is a tribute to the triumphant power of belief and the will to emerge from the despair of drug addiction, violence, anxiety, and depression; and ultimately persevere. What makes this story so compelling is that it is presented from a unique perspective. As each experience unfolds from childhood through adolescence, it is presented through the mindset of the child's age at the time. Both gut-wrenching and touching, it reaffirms the resilient nature of the human spirit and the truth that change and redemption are always possible. Perhaps the most important message of this story is how it affirms the transformative power of human connection through intentional acts of grace.

Autorenporträt
James Haas is a gifted storyteller and is always quick with a joke. He's a husband, a father, a grandfather, a cherished son and brother, a trusted co-worker and a friend to everyone he has met.After retiring from a distinguished 34-year career as a correctional officer, Jim dusted off the journals he compiled from his time inside the prison walls and this book is a result of that effort. Jim's larger-than-life personality, humor, integrity and love for his fellow humans shines through in his stories of the everyday events that happened on the job. The compassion, caring and respect that Jim showed to others, no matter their station in life, is something we can all aspire to match.Jim is a huge baseball fan and a lifelong New York Yankees fan. Since childhood, he's been an avid sports card collector and is the owner of Spanky's Sports Collectibles. Born and raised in western New York, Jim is a big fan of all Buffalo sports teams: the Bills, the Sabres and the Bisons. As a Corvette enthusiast, Jim is the proud owner of a sleek red Corvette accessorized with a custom license plate that reads: SPANKY. This ride doubled as his modern day sleigh as he joyfully portrayed Santa Claus every holiday season for many years to spread cheer, hope and laughter to kids. Jim is a graduate of Maryvale High School and now lives in Lancaster, New York with his wife Marcia and their dog Duchess. This is his first book.
