Little one's Whisper

By Annabel Iris Arco

We are all shaped or scarred by our childhood experiences. While some enjoy comfort and security, others endure cruelty, abuse and neglect, which will never end - unless they are helped. In this painfully honest and emotional account, the author - who suffered from trauma and grief in her childhood - explains how she healed her life in adulthood. Writing this book was part of her therapy and recovery.

By reflecting on the significant events and emotions of her formative years, she reconnects with her inner child who she names Little One. Together they embark on the harrowing process of confronting loss, pain, fear and insecurity from their personal perspectives as both a child and adult. Despite their emotional, physical and psychological scars, there are some heart-warming memories that emerge too.

Throughout the book, many wider important questions and issues are addressed concerning the attitudes of society, and successive governments, towards social care, mental health, parenting and education.

With the help of counselling, a deep faith and writing, the author has gained the strength to rebuild her life and move on. Little One's Whisper is her creative story, which sets the scene for Little One to grow up, with the help of her friends Alma and Sofia. The author wants this to resonate with others; to offer them a voice and the opportunity of healing and hope for the future.
