Braided Cord - Tough Time In and Out Finalist for About.com Memoirs

**Dedicated to the millions of children whose brain destiny was determined before they took their very first breath.** With unashamed honesty, Liz Kulp, once again opens the closed doors many families face daily loving human beings with complex neurological, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral damage. Beaten. Made fun of and shunned. Kicked and contained. Liz puts a face on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) for the tens of thousands of US babies born each year. I grew up with Liz, she is my heart sister and I lived in the Kulp house for almost five years. I was no easy teenager. And blend Liz and I together. World, you best just watch out. Karl’s strength balances Jodee’s nurturing. It is a healthy place to safely grow. They changed my future because of how they parented me and Liz changed me as a woman. Liz adds reality to the adult lives of hundreds of thousands of adults who spend their lives in prisons, institutions or life on the street. Liz exposes what can happen once childhood is over.
