""Raw and emotionally fraught. Vreeland tells her story with searing revelations, accompanied by colorful illustrations."" Leslie Zemeckis, bestselling author of Feuding Fan Dancers ""Bold and vibrant with disturbing imagery... I wanted to swoop in and save Baby Darlin' from the atrocities of her childhood. The whimsical art and poignant words that are scattered throughout the pages kept me tethered to the hope of a happy outcome, pulling me forward to the last pages."" Sandra Mistretta, Clinical Director for Casa Serena Treatment Programs for Women ""Alycia tells her story in typical Santa Barbara flavor; not a trace of self pity, because SB kids know... no one cares. Instead, we mine our tragic ore-pits for gasps and laughs, to the horror of the untraumatized. But our stories aren't FOR them. They are for the broken and beautiful survivors; broken Japanese teapots, glued back together with gold."" J.C. Scales, author of The Goat Lady's Son ""Equally heart shattering and heart warming. [Alycia] safely takes her readers on her exceptional and profoundly inspiring journey from wounding through healing and beyond."" Juliana Barros, Integration and Collective Trauma Therapist, State Certified Sexual Survivor Therapist ""Alycia Vreeland's Baby Darlin' invites us into an intimate world of abuse and addiction, confession and redemption, revealing what the narrator wants us to feel through her heartache, struggle, and survival... This journey through the highs and lows of Alycia's life ends in hope and possibility as she releases the darkness of her past and ""dissolves its power by telling my story over and over.... I am a grateful survivor."" Chella Courington, author of Adele and Tom: The Portrait of a Marriage and Ladies-in-Waiting ""Alycia's soul rupture and innocence are shattered so clearly in her haunting retelling of her traumatic childhood... The greater message; Alycia has shown us the path to wholeness and recovery."" Stacey Cameron, fellow traveler
