The book series offers CASA\/GAL volunteers and staff a valuable opportunity to explore key issues affecting children and families involved in the child welfare system. This initiative intends to foster a deeper sense of community and shared learning by spotlighting the literary contributions of our network&#8217;s authors.<\/p>\n<p>The first book in this series is <em><strong>The Shadow in Our Lives: One Family&#8217;s Recovery from Child Sexual Abuse<\/strong><\/em> by Tracey Wilson Heisler, MA. Heisler currently serves as the Executive Director of CASA of Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Counties (CASA SHaW).<\/p>\n<p>In her compelling memoir, Heisler takes readers through her family\u2019s journey, from the initial discovery of abuse to the stages of recovery. Heisler provides a candid reflection on her actions, sharing both what she did right and what she now wished she had done differently.<\/p>\n<p>Part memoir and part self-help guide, The Shadow in Our Lives is an essential read for anyone who suspects abuse in their family or works with victims and families. It offers key insights and practical advice, making it a valuable resource for both personal and professional growth.<\/p>\n<p>After reading and discussing the book, CASA\/GAL staff and volunteers recently participated in an online discussion with the author on January 29, 2025. Staff and volunteers asked questions and listened to Heisler discuss the process of drafting the book, how it affected her family, and what the book provides for readers.<\/p>\n<p>Through this book series, authors can connect to the CASA\/GAL network and share their insights, experiences, and stories, enhancing our collective understanding and advancing our mission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nationalcasagal.org\/reflecting-on-an-informative-and-inspiring-discussion-national-casa-gal-begins-a-new-network-author-book-series\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5719,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>National CASA\/GAL begins a new network author book series<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The National Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) \/ Guardians ad Litem (GAL) Association for Children, together with state and local member programs, supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy so every child who has experienced abuse or neglect can be safe, have a permanent home, and the opportunity to thrive.
