Cleve presents the stories of four children who have experienced trauma or are displaying dramatic clinical symptoms such as low self-esteem and anxiety. 'Elisabeth Cleve describes her young patients in such a loving manner. She consistently underscores the positive aspects of the processes she depicts. The reader is both happy to meet these children and awed by them. What a strong spirit they show! And what imaginative survival strategies they come up with!' - Lars H Gustafsson, from the foreword 'The stories about Ronia and the other children show not only Elisabeth's literary talent but also how she dealt with the issues of anonymity and ethics referred to above. I hope these stories will capture the reader's imagination and interest. They are poignant, humorous, moving, bewildering and intellectually stimulating; in short they possess all the qualities that make for good reading.' - Björn Salomonsson, from the foreword
