Written by a mother and son who both have ample social work and counseling experience, it portrays the agony and confusion of a little boy whose mother has disappeared as well as his father’s recognition that the boy’s actions demonstrate his fear and sorrow. This invaluable resource will help adults recognize and address the fear of abandonment when they respond to children’s question and behavior.
