When love is rewritten as a lie and a child is turned away, the ache is unspeakable. In this part-memoir, part-guide, Marisa K Conway names the grief of parental alienation and family estrangement with clarity, courage, and a steady hand and then charts a way forward.

From the first shock of separation to the quiet endurance that follows, Marisa offers the turning points that rebuilt her life: how to anchor yourself when you’re facing gaslighting, coercive control, or high-conflict co-parenting; how to document with dignity in the swirl of custody disputes; what to say (and not say) when contact opens; and how to guard your health while keeping a bridge to your child. With hard-won wisdom and practical steps for reunification-minded communication, she shows that healing and meaningful reconnection are possible even when systems fail and hope feels thin.

This is a resource for alienated parents (mothers and fathers), grandparents, and adult children who want both truth and tools. You’ll find stabilization practices, scripts for tense moments, and compassionate guidance for parent-child contact problems often mislabeled or misunderstood as “just conflict.”

If you’re searching for a parental alienation book that speaks to your heart and helps you act on recovery, reconnection, and reunification Shattered Bonds, Resilient Heart is your next brave step.
