A Broken Boy: On a Broken Road

by Robert G. Longpré

This book begins a new series, Healing the Soul, Skyclad, which is based on the idea that naturism can serve as one option for healing the soul and the psyche. One doesn’t heal if one buries trauma under layers of denial. One has to expose trauma and come to terms with that trauma as it has shaped one’s life and will continue to shape that life in spite of conscious intentions. Hiding and denying leaves one crippled in spirit and soul. Through making oneself vulnerable, one is able to move past the fear that paralyses and leaves on stuck in the past as a victim.

[Sandy Quinn · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not a feel good book with a happy ending or solution for your problems. It probably took the writer quite a bit of courage to confront his childhood ordeal but he did and he pen it down as it is; no drama just what he remembers. It's easy to deny our part and blame it on our parents or even grandparents. But self-realization is often needed to breakthrough from our past demons. Somehow the universe pointed Benny in the "right direction" when a mysterious stranger recommended him to read a certain book. Maybe being pushed to the limits is the wakeup call we sometimes need, to know who we are and what we're here to do.
