You are about to embark on a journey that will stimulate each and every one of your emotions and move your soul. This is one victim's story of her ability to survive through years of relentless childhood, physical and sexual abuse, the affect it had on her, and how she has finally found the courage to share her life experiences in her quest to help others.
Born and raised in a Midwestern town just an hour west of Chicago, Illinois, is a little girl with a big secret. A secret so enormous that the effect of it sends her on a roller coaster of a life. You are invited to jump aboard and take this ride with her as she recounts this story of her life. She will take you through the abuse, uncover the tools she used in her fight for survival, and reveal the catastrophic effects it has had on her life. Not to worry, it's not all doom and gloom. Not only does she share her lowest lows, but her highest highs as well.
If there is one world to be chosen to describe this story, that word would be hope. This is one of the purposes of this book, to give hope to victims, to let them know they are not alone, and help them become survivors. With that being said, strap yourself in because you are in for one heck of a ride.
