- (1888PressRelease) November 28, 2011 - Eighteen years ago, a 37-year-old single woman followed a friend to a meeting about adoption. A few short months later, Carolyn Nash walked out of the children's shelter with 3-year-old Abel's hand clutched in hers. Thus started an extraordinary journey the two could have only traveled together. As Abel began to slowly reveal the horrific abuse he suffered at the hands of his birth parents, Carolyn was forced to face her own long-suppressed memories of childhood trauma.
In RAISING ABEL, a memoir recently released on Amazon.com, Carolyn tells clearly and honestly of their 18-year struggle to build a family through destruction, violence, police interventions, hospitalizations, and suicide attempts. No true story ends perfectly; both continue to have obstacles to overcome but, the two have reached a place of peace and safety many doubted would ever happen.

Ranked first in Hot New Releases in adoption on Amazon.com, RAISING ABEL continues to build an audience with readers looking for an extraordinary story of the power of love written with beauty and eloquence.
