This book is a grace-filled account of a healing journey that transcended horrific childhood sexual abuse and adult rape. It is written in complete truth and transparency specifically to give others the freedom to speak out. It brings home the message that healing from ANY trauma is simply a choice to follow the healing path, one faith-filled step at a time. It speaks honestly of her battle with mental illness at age 41 that was the start of her own healing journey. She leads you step-by-step through, not just the sterile accounting of it all, but with all the heartfelt emotions as well! Though it is written from a Christian perspective, it is spiritually open and reveals the many paths that eventually led her to her own truth. Her heartfelt prayer, "God, please heal me," began six years of learning that forgiveness is the only key to unlocking her self-made prison of suffering.
