In the classic book, The Courage to Heal, Laura Davis and her co-author Ellen Bass helped launch the sexual abuse survivors’ movement. Now, 33 years later, Davis delivers her ultimate gift and most deeply personal book—a searing, intimate, and starkly honest memoir that reads like a page-turning novel. The Burning Light of Two Stars: A Mother-Daughter Story, is the story of her relationship with the mother who betrayed and failed to protect her so many years ago.

This captivating book once again demonstrates how Laura Davis can dig for the truth, no matter how painful, taking readers with her, in search of another kind of courage—the courage to not only forgive a parent who’s emotionally abandoned us but to care for that parent at the end of life.

The Burning Light of Two Stars examines the endurance of mother-daughter love, how memory protects and betrays us, and the determination it takes to fulfill a promise when ghosts from the past come knocking. Essential reading for therapists, survivors of sexual abuse and family trauma, caregivers of aging parents, and for anyone who loves an emotionally charged, dramatic family saga, The Burning Light of Two Stars, part memoir, part mother/daughter story, offers readers, no matter what their family dynamics, a close-up look at how healing between family members who’ve felt wronged by one another is not only possible but in fact can be the greatest joy and glory of both their lives.
