This is the NEW 2nd edition. The 1st edition ranked 4.8 out of 5 stars while on Amazon for 2 1/2 years.

According to reader/reviewer Linda Briggs-Harty, "This is the best treatment of child abuse I've seen... The writing is rich, descriptive, fluent, emotionally imbued but spare and authentic. [The] voice in the book, in particular, moves me beyond words."

According to reader/reviewer N.R., "I finally had time tonight and read your new edition. I've read your book three times in the past two years, all at different moments when I needed it. And you know what makes yours different from all the other books about child abuse, alcoholism, and mental illness? It's motivating! Not in the cheesy kind of way where it leaves you a few weeks after you've read it, but in a way where the words always seem to stay with you. And it's funny because each time, I get something new from it. I won't bore you with the details, but I do want you to know that I have been praying for two months for a sign over a personal matter, and you're new edition was definitely it and has helped heal those wounds and address a lot of the uncertainties that came with it. I think its amazing how youre able to influence and touch so many different people all suffering from various issues in less than 200 pages. Its simply incredible!"

Back of Cover:

The movement in Missing the Mark is a series of vignettes or jump cuts, similar to modern cinematic technique, exemplifying the fact that chaotic stories often have an absence of smooth transition and order.

Drawing from the text The Wounded Storyteller, this creative nonfiction witness recounts a dysfunctional upbringing within the structure of what Arthur W. Frank purports as The Chaos Narrative.

Author Keith Hoerner writes this piece to reclaim himself, to find his voice from beneath an antagonist who made him mute. Surprisingly, in reshaping the fractured pieces of his so-called life, he also discovers the existence of varied selves along the way (not only the ever-present lover but the admitted hater), which he has too long denied.

After forty-nine years, he is now able to recognize love and hate can coexist as counter selves in the human heart.

Keith [Hoerner] shows skill, control, and sensitivity to language.

Michael Castro, PhD,

Author of The Bush Years

One of the most unflinchingly honest and beautiful theses Id ever read.

Eve Jones, MFA,

Author of Bird in the Machine
