For author Nancy Lee Klune, the nightmare began with a phone call from a stranger. The man, who identified himself as a family therapist, informed her that her son and daughter-in-law had decided that she was to have no further contact with them or their four children. This call set in motion a 10-year journey of deep pain, emotional turmoil, and personal growth as she found ways to cope with this indescribable loss.
Each inspirational chapter in Banished explores the dilemmas and challenges facing alienated parents and grandparents. Woven throughout are intensely personal accounts of the author’s own healing, along with practical advice for those who suffer from family estrangement. She shares her process of healing, discussing everything from acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, self-love, and the importance of letting go and honoring your own life. She reveals how she found joy and happiness again, despite the vacuum created by the absence of her adult child and grandchildren.
Providing both straightforward assistance and much-needed empathy for those facing family alienation and estrangement, this book helps you move forward, while offering tools for healing and creating more love and peace in your life.

It really was inspirational for the grieving process.
After nine years, I have been through the whole cycle and am really surprised to have made it through.
Every day they are still in my thoughts and prayers.
Unfortunately, I am at a point of indifference to my son and his wife and also sadly realize that I no longer know these children I loved so much since birth.
I’d like to say I haven’t lost hope to ever be in their lives one day, but that is how I now feel (if even only to protect my heart).
I am working hard on the forgiveness part, but for now, I am not at that point.
I did appreciate the book and quotes and helpful advice for going through this awful process!
I have now purchased the actual book to place in the bin I keep for my grandchildren…..just in case “one day” comes.
Thank you for this book.

I have found out there for giving me direction, and it helps me to get back on track going forward again to recover from this unbelievable, painful situation that has happened to me.
I have really searched for help in this area, I have listened to Banished at least three times all the way through. This book is extremely personal, and I can't even express how much this book has helped me. If you are suffering from being abandoned by your adult children, this book will help you. Best wishes to you! I am hopeful you find peace.
