This album is highly recommended for children, adult children and parents as well as for those in recovery from abuse and/or mental illness. "A Child's Trust" is inspired by Freeana’s beloved pet guinea pig,“Jazzie” who came to her at a very important time in her life. "You've got to hear this!" he says as he chews his tenth carrot. It's grrrrr...ate. His sweet, loving, gentle spirit symbolizes the innocence and unconditional love that exists between a mother and child or any deeply healing bond. “Jazzie” awakened the child within and the nurturing mother’s voice with a healthy dialogue springing forth between the two. An incredible journey of healing developed and this music reflects that in its positive affirmations for the human spirit. This music is a cross between the stirring of the sea and the squeaks that erupt from Jazzie's cage with a twist of pellets spreading far into the distance. His mellow outlook on life is truly an inspiration for our complex minds.
