OPENING UP:
THE PARENTING JOURNEY
From the family therapist Anne Peretz and a forward from Henry Louis Gates Jr., Opening Up chronicles the struggles and triumphs of families suffering the internalized stresses from poverty, domestic abuse, racism, and neighborhood violence, among other challenges. Through Parenting Journey, a foundation started by Peretz, these families resolve harmful habits and identify their strengths to raise their children in a healthier environment.
REVIEWS
"Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, insightful, informative, thoughtful and thought-provoking, Opening Up: The Parenting Journey is particularly suited to the needs of parents in these troubled times."
- Midwest Book Review
"Anne Peretz masterfully depicts families desperately in need of understanding and guidance. With vivid and compelling narratives, this book both educates and inspires the reader, showing where true hope is to be found in homes where we often see only despair.”
- Jerome Groopman, MD, Recanati Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and author of Anatomy of Hope
“Anne Peretz shares the approach I have seen work wonders in my own community in Burundi. She has such a beautiful way of getting people to talk about uncomfortable issues and emerge with hope and effective thinking. The human connection found in Opening Up is visceral, eloquent, and beautifully redemptive. Anne Peretz's analysis of families' perils and their hopes should be required reading for anyone interested in the human condition.”
