This volume follows on from the First Steps book and continues the challenging journey through childhood and into adolescence.

In essence this is a book about love and the ability to express it towards the adopted child, despite persistent and often extreme tests of that love.

The author explains the effects of early emotional trauma and reviews specific sensitive situations that commonly arise, emphasising that only the parent will know what action is right for their own particular family and set of circumstances.
