Echo's of Inoncence DVD and Book a True 10 out of 10

My life's work has been focused on youth and trauma. Psychologyst, drug counselor working with youth whose traumatic events has caused such incredible damage. Angery, sullen no faith, they want to die rather than bare the pain of life. With help, I have observed transformation as they strive to shed anger and rage as they move from victim, surviver, to thriver. Sara, is the ultimate Thriver. To her own self be true. Her faith, wisdom, kindness and virtue made this film a shinning light in the darkest corners of humanity. While there is a subtle Joan of Ark Theme, this is in no way a modern remake. The story of Joan's dedication to her beliefs, values and faith carried her through a war. Sara lives in her own war zone. Alcholic mentally ill mother,visions with out understanding them leaves her alone in a world of disbelievers. There is one,who shared her pledge of faith who promises to appeared in God's time. For teenagers the love story, surrounded by a mystical, magical pull of evil verses valor will grab them in their own personal truth. THis movie is an echo of a time when the world was much easier to understand. The good acts and bad behaviors were bound by culture, family and church. For the disjointed youth of today, this film will serve as a panacea in fulfillment of a inner hole they did not know existed! Bravo to the risk and faith of the Sims family for sending out into the world something that truly ignites a fiery light, through the dark path for the lost personal spirit. In today's world honor and integrity seem to have become a distant shimmer in the dark. Echo's keep the sound alive as your burning truth travels as a gentle mist that is the beacon for tremendous enlightenment! Keep shining that light! Katie Evan PhD,CADCIII, NCACII
