This book is not a work of fiction. It contains true, personal stories of real people. A man with a drinking problem thought he needed someone to live with him to keep him from drinking. The person he picked stole his car, money and cell phone. Another person admits he had murder on his mind during a fractured break into temporary insanity. Two people, who were betrayed by their parents in the worst possible way, suffer daily to overcome the pain of being unable to trust anyone. A traumatic divorce is the end of a way of life and changes family members forever. Linked together with the common purpose of changing the reality of their present circumstances, this "tribe of five" explores the shadowy places within. Their stories are similar to the other documented stories in this book that reveal how we have the personal power within us to confront our Shadow Side and change everything.
