Books with title My Journey to the Stars

Journey to the Son chronicles Carla A. Carlisle's eight-year battle with the system to protect the child of her heart from enduring trauma caused by his birth mother, who herself suffers from prolonged physical, emotional and mental abuse. "When I first saw him at 10 days old and held him in my arms, I knew he would be mine forever," said Carlisle, a corporate executive in financial services. "But I had no idea what I had to go through to keep him." For years Carlisle appeared to have it all: a loving husband, a successful career, a beautiful house and two dogs. Privately, she longed to be a mother and struggled to have children due to infertility. Carlisle and her husband spent thousands on fertility treatments and several hope-filled weeks listening to a heartbeat until it stopped. Their numerous attempts grew exhausting and expensive then ultimately became futile. The quest to get pregnant ruined their four-year marriage and ended Carlisle's desire to give birth – but not her desire to be a mother. In 2010, Carlisle became a foster parent to a boy born two months prematurely. However, six months later a flawed system returned him to his mentally ill, drug-addicted birth mother. Carlisle knew this custody arrangement would endanger his life and set out to protect him at all costs. Since her book's release on January 8, 2019, Carlisle has started a movement to bring awareness about trauma and its impact on children who are abuse victims. She is working with private and public sector organizations including Mental Health America of Central Carolinas, National Alliance on Mental Illness and Living Waters, Inc., a nonprofit interchange for faith-based organizations, to educate and empower decision-makers and parents to provide safe and healthy environments to keep at-risk children alive, safe, stable and resilient.

Maureen's journey began as a child in wartime London. Emigrating to the other side of the world in the late 1950’s meant never seeing your loved ones again. Crossing the Alps in a bubble car, sailing through the Suez Canal, driving in the Australian outback alone, and recreating herself time and time again. The fashion world of the 1960's and 70's when Australia and New Zealand were like the wild west. The men in her life and the high cost of loving. This poignant and searingly honest memoir tells the tale of a maverick spirit with an appetite for change, who set out to see the world and to see how it would change her.
