Book on Childhood Trauma by Dr. Donna Bevan-Lee Will Be on Exhibit at the Miami Book Fair 2019

Early this year, Dr. Donna Bevan-Lee published a new book about coping with a legacy of childhood trauma, titled “Iron Legacy: Childhood Trauma and Adult Transformation.” This groundbreaking book on adverse childhood experience (ACE) will be exhibited at the Miami Book Fair 2019 Street Fair on November 22-24, 2019 at Miami Dade College (Wolfson Campus) in Downtown Miami.
 
Founded in 1984 as “Books by the Bay,” the Miami Book Fair is the largest and most important literary festival in the country. The book fair aims to promote reading, encourage writing, and heighten an awareness of literacy and the literary arts in Miami’s multi-ethnic community. In 2018, the Miami Book Fair drew an estimated 200,000 visitors and hosted 500+ authors and 200+ exhibitors.
 
Dr. Bevan-Lee’s book “Iron Legacy” will be exhibited by ReadersMagnet at the Miami Book Fair.
 
Written by someone who had survived a dark and troubled childhood, the book dazzles as a gripping first-hand account, a thought-provoking scholarly work, and a much-needed practical guide in helping readers understand, accept and eventually overcome the scars of child abuse and emotional neglect. “Iron Legacy” is not only a compilation of Dr. Bevan-Lee’s history of childhood trauma but also the conclusion of her own comprehensive research and the sum of three decades’ experience helping survivors.
 
Using her own story as a jumping off point, the author explores how adverse childhood experiences affect adult behavior and what survivors can do to help develop resilience.
 
“To the insights of codependency theory, I add the most useful discoveries of new research on childhood trauma, especially those with practical applications,” Dr. Bevan-Lee said on her website, “things readers can do independently to help themselves.
 
“Mindfulness has a central place, and the book contains, not just general instructions, but specific guided meditations designed for survivors of childhood trauma. Other therapeutic activities include writing, somatic exercises, and collaborative reflection, all backed by rigorous research and presented with clear instructions and ample supporting materials.”
 
Dr. Donna Bevan-Lee offers thoughtful, full-hearted help for survivors in “Iron Legacy: Childhood Trauma and Adult Transformation.”
