At the age of twelve, Braedon was introduced to the world of drugs by her mother; what soon followed was an unbroken string of pain and misery, including everything from verbal abuse to near starvation. Struggling to adapt to her mother’s frenetic, borderline insane behavior, Braedon eventually found herself immersed in the daunting depths of quiet desperation, longing for the simple conveniences that countless others take for granted. Despite the crushing blows continually dealt to her wounded soul, though, nothing could dampen young Braedon’s resilience as she pushed herself along on the road to ultimate redemption.

The Absent Embrace is a heart-rending, shockingly eye-opening account of innocence lost and regained. More than just an autobiography, author Braedon Kuts’ moving memoir serves as a sobering reminder of the simple – yet powerful – blessings we often take for granted as we live our lives in profound ignorance of the painful existence of others. As she found herself thrust in the relentless throes of hunger, pain, and abandonment, Braedon easily could have surrendered all hope for a better, brighter future; however, drawing on the deep well of resiliency within herself, she remained determined to overcome her circumstances – chiefly by learning from the mistakes committed by her mother and others throughout the course of her life.

Deeply inspiring, The Absent Embrace is a touching account of learning to embrace healing for the soul. Highly recommended.
