Publisher's Synopsis
This child abuse book presents a first-hand description of child abuse and navigates the reader through the distinctive stumbling blocks encountered by adult survivors of abuse who are attempting to forgive.
In this book, you will discover:
Before DVDs existed, the author's childhood trauma was permanently recorded and embedded in her head. Long before surround sound technologies were available, she captured all of the sights and sounds of her childhood in vivid detail.
She often wished during her childhood she was simply playing a part in a movie where a director would yell "cut," and everything would be okay. Unfortunately, her childhood was no Hollywood movie. It was real life - a situation she was born into and had to endure--severe child abuse at the hand of her father, while her mother was too afraid to protect her and her siblings.
Now, as an adult, she looks back and knows it was only by the hand of God and many miracles of any of her siblings and she survived at all. Two of their sisters were not so lucky.
What makes it worth reading is the author's insights into her own inner strength and how forgiveness healed her and made her even stronger. It is a lesson for all of us. Until one can forgive, anger and jealousy are heavy weights that keep us from leaving a wrong in the past and growing beyond it.
