These stories are entertaining and creatively discuss trauma in a gentle way for survivors. So, while they can simply be taken as wonderful stories, people can also gain a deeper meaning from them as they are able.

During our conversation, Sammie talks about being a nurturer and not neglecting herself. She also talks about her hope that these books will help people connect with their inner child.
