>> Join us for our PAX Salon, Tuesday, December 3, for a timely discussion of 
>> Deborah’s novel that tells a true story about the long-term effects of 
>> childhood trauma on those reaching toward a life of thriving.  With the 
>> recent fervor to bring perpetrators of child abuse to justice have we 
>> forgotten to provide the victims of abuse with a system of treatment and 
>> care that will assure they thrive? Lifelong effects are legion and 
>> overlooked. Perpetrators are paraded before us as if all that needs to 
>> happen is to punish the criminals.  Untreated mental illness, suicide & 
>> substance abuse are rampant in society partially because of the prevalence 
>> of crimes against children. 
>> Deborah, a resident of the West 7th community of St. Paul is a frequent 
>> contributing columnist to THE COMMUNITY REPORTER, an avid reader, writer & 
>> painter as well as a survivor of childhood emotional, physical and sexual 
>> abuse in the context of family.  

        Written by Deborah Padgett.

        Hope to see you on Tuesday.
