Part of her passion is taking complicated topics and distilling them down ino more accessible information so that it can be easily and quickly applied to life. Since the age of 3, she has been an avid reader. As an adult, she continues that love of learning and has made it her goal to share it with others. In 5th grade, Elise brought her own books to school and made a library for her classroom. She created library punch cards and let the other kids check out her books and read them. Instead of sharing someone else's books, she is writing her own. One of her motivations to write, educate, and share is her love of the word "hope." Without Elise realizing it, she began researching this book in 1990 while working her way toward her Early Childhood Education degree. Looking at her peers, she saw many women struggling to be the "superwoman" without a "cape," and they needed emotional support and help with their own pasts. She saw children who needed assistance due to generational trauma. She desired to help them build healthy families. What she found was her passion for "Hope." Holding out for hope and a better life takes courage. Her curiosity regarding healthy children and the connection to healthy attachments with the adults in their lives is regularly researched. Her hope is that this book is a starting place for the people who need hope. Whether you are dealing with anxiety or dysregulation, Elise feels that turning to any page in this easy-to-digest book can give hope, support, or emotionalregulation tools.
