Parent to Parent is based on the experience of Dave and Barb Kenney, both foster and adoptive parents of traumatized children. Dave is a child psychologist and Barb a social worker. Parent to Parent is about emotional healing and is intended to help parents and teachers understand the effects of psychological injuries on the developing personality. It illustrates the thinking and learning of the developing child and explains how, at certain times, the traumas of childhood have specific sets of possible effects on the emerging ego. These effects impact on the personality in specific ways, which lead to predictable behavior patterns. Therefore, we can act in a strategic way to redirect growth towards well being. In this manner, we can inoculate the abused or abandoned child to significant mental disorders as adults at the same time we deal with the contemporary challenges these children bring to home and school. Parent to Parent helps traumatized children avoid becoming traumatizing adults.

The 1970s were more than big hair, mirror balls, and leisure suits. These were the years that bridged the chasm between the anti-establishment tumult of the 1960s and the morning-in-America conservatism of the 1980s. In Minnesota, this evolution unfolded in ways that defied expectations. No longer was Minnesota merely a vague, snow-covered outpost in the American consciousness. It was a place of note and consequencea state of presidential candidates, grassroots activism, civic engagement, environmental awareness, and Mary Tyler Moore. Its governor appeared on the cover of Time magazine. Its city skylines shot up with uncharacteristic immodesty. Its farmers enjoyed some of their best years ever. Minnesota forged an identity during the 1970s that would persist, rightly or wrongly, for decades to come.

With original research including photographs, letters, and interviews with veterans and their families, Dave Kenney honours Minnesotans who faced war with equal amounts of determination and dread, courage and fear, in places as far away as the Pacific and Europe and as close as our hometowns.
