Produktbeschreibung
The Lunch Box Theory is a deeply personal memoir that confronts the devastating impact of childhood abuse, including being sexually trafficked. The book ultimately delivers a message of resilience and hope. Written in a voice that is both raw and compassionate, Michael Skinner recounts his journey from successful musician and father to a man unraveling from the weight of long-buried abuse. As an advocate for survivors of childhood trauma for over twenty years, he is both an award-winning speaker and joyful musician again. The Lunch Box Theory gives professionals a rare opportunity to learn about their systems from the inside out. His book details his hard-earned mental health injuries while also giving all abuse survivors the courage to stare down their own demons. With unflinching honesty, the author invites readers to sit with him on the "front porch of life," to bear witness to his story, and to reflect on the societal silence that surrounds the many forms of child abuse. His book is more than a personal narrative. It is a call to action for trauma-informed awareness for professionals and a message of compassion for all.
