A Long Journey to Joy: A Memoir of a Counselor’s Recovery, by Yonah Klem, Ed.D. (2009)
A victim of childhood sexual abuse, she mistakenly believed her version of reality was the Ultimate one. After decades of therapy and study of Jewish mysticism, she finally cast off the heavy cloak of shameful misconceptions, and relaxed into ordinary life.
A Long Journey to Joy provides a unique perspective on how to find joy despite a harrowing beginning. It is a “must read” for everyone in recovery and for the psychotherapists who guide them. (description loosely from Amazon.com)
