b'Today on The Inspiration Show, Natalie Ledwell speaks with award-winning author and child abuse survivor, Tom North. Tom joins Natalie on the show to discuss his new book \'True North\', which is inspired by Tom\'s real life experiences as a survivor from an abusive stepfather that drove him to depression and drugs, and a mother who protected the image of the \'perfect\' family at all costs. During the show, Tom shares that the Golden Globe award-winning movie "Yours Mine and Ours" was inspired by his own family as it was considered to be the perfect American family back in the 60\'s. Tom reveals why the image portrayed in the movie couldn\'t be farther from the truth. Today, he is a leading advocate for promoting meditation for trauma survivors and anyone who feels alone and depressed.'
