Damaged Angels follows an adoptive mother's search for answers after her lively daughter developed learning, behavioural and addiction problems that only later were linked to prenatal alcohol exposure. The book combines a personal narrative with contemporary research on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).

It explains how prenatal alcohol can affect the developing brain, producing learning difficulties, impulsivity, problems predicting consequences and heightened risk of addiction, homelessness and involvement with the justice system. The author highlights the scale of the problem and the importance of early recognition.

Published by National Geographic Books, the account offers practical perspectives for parents, educators, health professionals and policymakers seeking diagnosis strategies, supportive approaches and prevention measures.
