Survived And Thrived - 9781684098163

This book chronicles the life of Mike Bruckner, a boy born to a dysfunctional family, whose mother suffered from mental illness. This is a story about a little boy who is hungry for love and at the very least safety. It takes us through his life as a child and how the abuse he suffered affected him in adult life. Mike is a survivor of a mother-son incestuous relationship. The trials of wanting to do the best for his wife and children and yet not now knowing how until he met a therapist who helped him fake it until he could make it. It's a story not so different from many others in today's society but delves into subject matter still taboo in the year 2016. It is a dark story, but also an uplifting one on how through hard work, love and determination, one can overcome terrible circumstances to be the person they want to be.
