We humans are stories with a soul. Mine contains childhood trauma, survival and growth through the discovery of treasures in the broken shards of my past. The rearview mirror of my life reveals strength, resilience, forgiveness and personal transformation. Over the course of decades, I battled with emotional giants of rejection, fear and feelings of worthlessness to the point of believing that I wasn't worthy of living life. I had internalized negative messages that turned my world upside down as a grown adult. I took on a journey from despair to healing and built a new life, rebuilding my life from the ground up moving from wounded child to healed warrior.

Praise for Picking Up The Shards
"If you are ready to break the cycle of family dysfunction, Picking Up The Shards is the book for you! I have seen the cycle of dysfunction tear through families. As a mental health nurse (for the past twenty-five years), I have seen the cycle of dysfunction tear through families. As a child of abuse, I related and connected with Anita as she shares her deepest feelings. As you read her story, you can feel her pain and sense strength at the same time. Her story helps you realize you are not alone. She validates your feelings of past abandonment and neglect by confronting her own feelings in order to open doors to healing. I would recommend this book to anyone ready to heal and put the pieces of their life back together." -Kelly Walk Hines, Bestselling Author of Memoirs of an Invisible Child, Recipient of the Heartland Hero Award by NJ Heartland
"The best thing about Anita's book is that she is completely vulnerable. The traumatic experiences of her past help her relate to people on a personal level. As she has worked through her own attachment trauma and other childhood pain, she has become a beacon of hope and light to those struggling with the same thing. And she demonstrates all this through her book." -Rachel Penning McCracken, Author, editor, Chasing Kites Publishing
"It is this amazing book... a Memoir... it is so raw and real. It is beautifully done... it was so relatable. It was such a healing experience for me." -Qat Wanders, Bestselling author, editor, Wandering Words Media
As Anita shares both her story and her realizations, you, too, will learn how to make the daily decision to pick up, embrace, and heal the broken pieces of your life. You will learn to set aside the lies of those negative messages from your attachment figures and break the vicious cycle of living perpetually with the dysfunction of your past.
