A Long Journey Backward: From Darkness to Light (Unabridged‪)‬

A Long Journey Backward: From Darkness to Light is the sequel to A Child from the Inside Out. In the first book, Lucinda's horrific tale of suffering comes to light in the safety of our therapeutic relationship. In this second volume, Lucinda seems well on her way to a healthier, more fulfilled life as our therapeutic work continues with many surprising twists and turns. But then, an unexpected turn of events leads her down a long, dark road. Even though I was now an experienced therapist, I was unable to maintain my own equanimity as we traversed this dark road together.

A series of nearly unbelievable events had me reeling, and my rock-solid relationship with Lucinda began to crumble. In the end, it is with the help of a friend, another therapist, and a messenger from God, that Lucinda comes to the end of her long, dark road, and I find inner healing of my own.

"Do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed". I Peter 4:12-13
