While she longs for love, peace and forgiveness, she knows she deserves punishment. Will she get what she deserves, or what she longs for? Book Takeaway:Regardless of your past, your future is secure in Jesus Christ. Why the author wrote this book:
What prompted me to write this book? During my years as a teacher I encountered children who were believed to be victims of sexual abuse and nothing was done about it. As a behavioral health therapist, I meet people – men and women – who continue to suffer from the trauma of sexual abuse well into their adult lives. But this book is not just about sexual abuse. I have explored the themes of relationships, forgiveness, redemption and family dynamics. Even though this story is set in a Third World country, I believe the issues and the characters’ response to them are universal. |
