A heart-warming and uplifting book which gives us an insight into the secret world of happy children. It is unique in that it is not based on an adult analysis of children with difficulties but on personal and in-depth interviews that tell us in the children's own words how they feel about themselves and the world. Elizabeth Gould has that rare gift of being able to communicate with these children and encourage them to want to share their happiness with her. The book reveals a picture of children who face the usual ups and downs yet have found a way to be happy and stay happy.
Elizabeth Gould had a senior career as a lawyer and consultant in the corporate world before her life changed. She had barely recovered from a brutal home attack when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
