New York Times bestselling author, neurosurgical ICU trauma nurse, and vice president of Amen Clinics Tana Amen shares how overcoming her traumatic past made her a passionate champion for others in need of healing and hope. A terrifying childhood of abandonment and abuse, battles with cancer and depression, and a never-ending fight to be valued for more than her outward appearance conspired to rob Tana Amen of a voice--and the healthy future she deserved. Then, as a single working-mother secretly suffering from an eating disorder, she met Dr. Daniel Amen, the world-renowned psychiatrist and groundbreaking researcher using brain-scan imagery to transform clinical practice. Through their relationship she was able to release her need for self-protection, find healing, and experience.
