Stories that help people feel seen, understood, and less alone.
KSH Books publishes meaningful stories rooted in empathy, humanity, caregiving, resilience, healing, and understanding life through someone else’s eyes.
More than books. Stories with a purpose.
KSH Books began with dementia education for children and families, but the heart of the imprint is bigger than one topic.
We publish stories that create connection — stories that help readers better understand caregiving, memory loss, trauma, survival, family, advocacy, and the deeply human experiences that shape us.
Snapshots of a Survivor
9 Days Affected by Childhood Sexual Trauma
Written by Steven Shaw
Snapshots of a Survivor is an honest, deeply human look at nine days in the life of Steven Shaw, a childhood sexual trauma survivor and former pastor in the conservative evangelical community.
Through ordinary moments interrupted by trauma triggers, Steven invites readers to better understand the inner life of a survivor, the loneliness trauma can create, and the hope that can come through honest conversation.
This book does not offer easy answers or false promises. Instead, it creates space for compassion, reflection, and meaningful dialogue through an extensive discussion guide at the conclusion.
Content note: This book discusses childhood sexual trauma and the lasting impact of trauma on adult life.
