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.

  • Reading The First Wrinkle really hit me on a personal level. It’s incredible how childhood experiences shape our memories and lives, and this book brings those truths forward so vividly. While the stories are heavy, they also highlight resilience and the dedication of volunteers, foster parents, and first responders. It made me reflect on how we all engage with challenges, whether in life or in the risks we take elsewhere. For instance, playing at https://7bitcasino.com/live Live Casino reminds me how strategy and awareness are key—just like understanding trauma requires attention, patience, and mindful action to create positive outcomes.
