Richard Kellogg Review
I found the messages in Sweep Away Your Thorny Childhood decidedly on-point. Ms. Clinger's style in this self-help book nicely compartmentalizes the exercises and suggestions, and ties them together through the construction metaphor. The reader is spared a long statistical review in favor of usable suggestions. Even those who experienced mostly happy childhoods will gain suggestions to work out issues of anxiety and depression.

Debra Colussy Review
I highly recommend "Sweep Away Your Thorny Childhood" as a resource in understanding and supporting students in our classrooms. Children born into dysfunctional families may struggle with the ability to learn and focus. Sandra offers hope and encouragement through eight, easy to follow, steps. A creative and perceptive teacher can weave these simple strategies into lessons. Everyone can benefit from Sandra's insight and tools to achieve "well-being"!

Deborah L. Vacano Review
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills and spirit on dealing with these incredibly hard issues..
It has really helped me to be able to go through this step by step within the perimeters of the way you laid out the ground work within your book..
Usually I end up picking up a book related to these topics.. and not finishing them.
I now realize, I was looking for more of a hands on approach..
Again thank you! This book has become very instrumental in my healing process!
For anyone looking for real "stand true" strategies .. I would suggest buying this book!
