Sent away to boarding school on his eighth birthday, Mark Stibbe watched his adoptive parents drive away, leaving him standing in front of a huge country house with only his trunk and his teddy. That night he was given the first of four beatings in his first two weeks.
In this groundbreaking book, Mark contends that there are many wounded people just like him, men and women who suffer throughout their lives with homesick souls. This often leads to them being driven to succeed in their work while failing to engage emotionally at home.
Home at Last tells a courageous story and offers a unique model of haling, combining psychological insights with spiritual wisdom. These create a map with which ex-boarders can find their way home.
