          <body><![CDATA[The Sitting Swing is an encouraging and inspiring story of one person’s experiences of growing up that rings true for most of us who have had similar, if not the same kind of story to tell of the kind of childhood abuse that programmed us to think that we are victims who are powerless and helpless to do anything about our external circumstances. Being raised by a controlling mother and an absent father, whether it be emotionally absent or physically absent is more common than not.  Few of us have been raised or treated like the children we grew up with on television’s “Father Knows Best,” or the “Donna Reed Show.”  The difference between Irene and us, however, is that she had the courage to share her reality with the world in this inspiring story, and did it in such a balanced way that both our emotional and intellectual minds can easily relate and comprehend to the kind of damage that can be done to us while growing up.   <br/><br/>What I loved the most about The Sitting Swing was that Irene Watson teaches us how we all can take power over our programmed feelings of helplessness, and with love and understanding we too can come to terms with ourselves and go on to lead happy and healthy lives. <br/><br/>If you love a love a good ending, you will love this book!]]></body>
