BOWERSTON, Ohio, Sept. 30, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The absence of family guidance often results in a troublesome period of growing up for the child. This is the theme that drives a touching story about a lady who can do nothing but mistreat others as she misses her beloved mother in The Troubled Child, a new book authored by Mildred Maylea MacBride and released through Xlibris.
The Troubled Child follows the lives of twin children born to Kenneth and Moira MacKenzie. The daughter, Margaret, is suffering from "lack of attachment" due to the unfortunate death of her mother. She deeply feels the loss of her mother and can find no substitute. She mistreats her twin brother, and everyone else - and even her loving grandmother is unable to help her. With her life and personality both in disarray, what can Margaret do to find happiness and meaning in her life? Is there still hope for her to change for the better? Read the book to find out.
