In the fall of 1992, Pelican published Lauren Stratford’s breakthrough work, I Know You're Hurting: Living Through Emotional Pain. This book speaks to people who have been victims of any abuse-physical, emotional, or spiritual.

The theme of this book is joy. The characters, whether famous or ordinary, have at least one thing in common—they have inspired others through acts of faith, hope, and love.

She invites you, as an Indian love song says, to “walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song,” because then, “all about you will be beauty.” If you can learn to do this, if you can see beauty everywhere you look, then your days will become happier and brighter.
