This collection is not only a gift to parents and professionals, but a compassionate invitation to see -- and feel -- through a child's eyes.
Jonathan M. Berman, Family Law Attorney and Mediator
I have known and worked with Judith for almost three decades now. Her
knowledge about families separating and divorcing runs deep. Judith has
compassion for all parties involved in family transitions. And, she has never lost
sight of understanding that parents' decisions and behavior impact kids - for
better and for worse. Her support in assisting parents in high-conflict is one
indication of that support. Hillary Hyde, MSW, CFLE
Associate Professor of Practice Emerita,
Portland State University In a few words of poetry, Judith was able to nail the emotions and challenges faced by all involved. I am delighted that she is now sharing this gift of knowledge and "in the trenches" experience with a larger audience.
Enjoy, ponder, and just feel it all. Judith Moyer, MSRetired veteran of Family Court Services J
