The book depicts vulnerability as a strength…an asset to reach the unreachable. It pushes you to come up with your own truth, rather than fall into a pattern that was only developed in your mind because others told you it was so. The book allows you the permission to heal and reminds you that boundaries are essential. I highly recommend this read to anyone who has a pulse. Growth happens; it’s not just a book.
Moonlight in Mud Puddles is a captivating and emotional read that celebrates the duality in the journey of life, taking the reader along for the ride. I found myself both laughing and crying when reading this. Dr. Cecil shares intense past experiences, the science of trauma, clinical experience, and humor while finding true self love. Anyone who has ever struggled to understand themselves should read this book. In a beautiful dance between past and present, Dr. Cecil reminds us that we cannot run from ourselves and that we don’t need to.
Kedric H. Cecil weaves his personal story with psychological theories and affecting insights from tumultuous experiences of his own and others. Speaking both from personal depth and insights into the lives of others, the winding path of this book involves and inspires the reader. He includes conversations between himself as a young man and as a mature doctor of psychology. Hope is the glue which holds this book together, reflected like the image of its evocative title.
I recently had the pleasure of reading Ric Cecil’s book. I enjoyed the read very much and learned a lot more about my friend than I previously knew. It was an enjoyable ride through his life experiences that resulted in his realization of what his clarity of truth is, thus enabling him to reach out to help others heal from the same maladies that occupied much of his youth.
Ric does a great job of sharing with the reader that everyone has something to offer regardless of how we may feel about ourselves at any given time.
