The First Wrinkle

by Wendy L. Samford Ph.D.

About the Book

Using brain research on the effects of childhood trauma, we know our brains cannot create lasting memories without attaching to old ones. In other words, “The First Wrinkle” in our memory is permanent. This book presents the authentic stories of four people who, in different states, experienced some form of childhood trauma. Alternating with the four memoir’s, are additional interviews showcasing those trying to better the system, including foster parents, first responders, and volunteers. The First Wrinkle is a tribute to the brave men and women who, from all over the country, have volunteered to share their stories. Read this book about needed change in our foster care system with your eyes wide open and without judgement. Find a way to be a part of the change in this hidden epidemic we call abuse.

  • A buddy from Canada recommended riverbelle casino to me last week. He knows I get frustrated with complicated casino sites, so I gave this one a try. The site is clear, no messy layout, and the games work perfectly on both desktop and mobile. I’ve already played several rounds of blackjack and tested out some slots, all with no glitches. Payments have been quick and hassle-free as well.

  • Hey guys! I’ve been playing at Richy Leo for several weeks now, and it’s become my go-to online casino in the UK. The game variety is impressive, with slots, live casino options, and even table games. What I love most is the fast withdrawal process—it’s one of the quickest I’ve experienced. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the UK!
