Book Launch Party: Laurie Kahn, BAFFLED BY LOVE

For three decades, Laurie Kahn has treated clients who were abused as children. Their abusers were often people who inhabited their daily lives. Kahn, too, had to learn to navigate a wilderness in order to find the good kind of love after a rocky childhood. In Baffled by Love , she includes strands from her own story, along with those of her clients, creating a narrative full of resonance, meaning, and shared humanity.

she founded Womencare Counseling and Training Center. Laurie's personal essays have been published in anthologies, and her articles and book reviews in professional journals. In 2010, Laurie completed an MFA in Creative Nonfictio n at Goucher College.
