And We All Fall Down

We have all read about the cases of child abuse that involve revered members of the Catholic Church. And We All Fall Down takes us beyond the statistics and the humiliating details. Eric MacLeish, lead attorney on many of the highest profile cases, takes us into his world. He explains his drive to expose sexual predators, and how each courtroom victory fueled his desire to take on another case while heightening his professional recognition from colleagues and the media. But, just when MacLeish was at the height of his legal career, his own world started spinning out of control. Soon after winning the case against Cardinal Law, Macleish began obsessing over images of scenes detailed by some of his victimized clients. He recognized that the recurrence of these images were symptomatic of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. After seeking professional help and through intense self examination, Macleish realized that he himself had been sexually abused as a child. And We All Fall Down will touch anyone who has ever been traumatized. With proper professional help, we are shown how all trauma victims can be optimistic about recovery. Today, Eric MacLeish continues to heal as he refocuses his priorities and his life.Macleish, Eric is the author of 'And We All Fall Down ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781596873698 and ISBN 1596873698.
