Synopsis

This poignant, life-changing story of sexual, physical and parental abuse is absolutely riveting! Lacresha Hayes shares pages from her own life while reaching out to victims to show them hope and a light at the end of the tunnel of despair. This book is disturbing in that it paints an ugly picture of a hidden society, but it is also triumphant and shows the power of humanity when we believe in ourselves.

Review:

I felt like I was reading my own life story when I first received this book. I have hidden the facts surrounding my childhood and early adulthood for years, but this book helped me to come forth and begin helping other women who needed their voice to be heard. I would recommend this book to all women, whether previous victims or not, primarily so that we can have a greater sense of awareness! --Alicia Todds, IL

I read other reviews on this book at BookMuse before actually reading it. Everyone has spoken on how it relates to victims of sexual and/or physical abuse. What people seem to miss is that this book is about so much more. The part that spoke to me was when she dealt with the hypocrisy that is evident in churches throughout the country. I was outraged, but I was also encouraged. I give this book a huge thumbs up. She was honest and upfront and that made this book a favorite for me. --Brian Riley, MN
