To the outside world, a perfect family, but behind closed doors, the pain, suffering, beating and the secrets kept growing. My book is of growing, maturing and trying to understand the facts of life without anyone telling you about it. Unfortunately learning and understanding what sex is about at the age of three years of age. Learning on your own, coping the best way you can own with the dynamics of dysfunctionality within your own family. Learning how to cope, and take care of yourself when there is no one there to help you. Praying, hoping that you can grow up, and move out and be thankful that you weren't beaten to death. And thanking God that you have one more chance at life. The road to recovery truly begins when that family's loyalty tempered with violence, physical, mental, corporal abuse, drinking, drugs and control. The violence that we all suffered at the hands of our parents. No reason or responsibility, with no sense of love or security, just only pain to each individual. Your loyalty to yourself comes first. Trust me when I say this. You are not alone. Do not ever be ashamed of your past do not be afraid of the future or what it may bring. You are a part of your future, and what tools you use to make it work for you.

Why is it only $12.99? We are a nonprofit and when the Packards wrote their books they pledged the proceeds to nonprofits. It wasn’t long until we realized the very best way we could help nonprofits was to get their books in nonprofit’s hands. We hope this reduced pricing makes that possible.\nGOING FULL CIRCLE: Confessions of a Serial Nonprofiteer. For more than two decades, Bill and Barbara Packard immersed themselves in the nonprofit world. From creating an all-volunteer, free medical clinic, to reviving two moribund thrift store operations—one of which donated three quarters of a million dollars to local nonprofits in four short years. And when they thought it was time to rest on their laurels the desire to help those in need lead them to open a free food pantry. One that always had, milk, eggs, and meat; was open when people could come by without missing work; and let them “shop” for the food they wanted and would use. And it was available weekly instead of the normal monthly presorted food box. It wasn’t always pretty, but this book shares the honest and creative journey from run of the mill volunteer to innovative servant leader. Their story offers you a chance to see how things really work and how the nonprofit world can change to be much more effective.\n“The Packard’s were known to have the Midas touch when it came to charitable operations. 
Flagstaff Mayor Gerald Nabours,\n"You'll laugh. You'll cry." You've heard that old saying a thousand times. But when you read Bill Packard's brilliantly alive Flagstaff, Arizona memoir, “Going Full Circle: Confessions of a Serial Nonprofiteer,” you will find yourself laughing, crying, cussing humanity, and loving what Bill tells us about deep community commitment; off-the-charts innovative non-profit design; the tenderness of a full marriage partnership; the depths of a loss; and the persistence of a couple determined to address not just injustice, but the structures and misguided humans that perpetuate it. Bill and Barbara Packard have given all of Flagstaff back to itself, and have done that through the practice of hard steady work. With any luck, you will finish this book and immediately contact potential allies to join with you in nurturing your community as Barbara and Bill Packard have.” 
Mary Sojourner, 35-year devoted Flagstaffian, author of the novels Sisters of the Dream, Going Through Ghosts, ; short story collections, Bonelight and The Talker; newspaper op eds throughout the Southwest; and NPR commentaries.
