Growing Stronger, Growing Free

In this our 2nd group book we have come together once again to share what it takes to survive. Not only to survive, but to go on and overcome the many obstacles in our path as we live our daily lives. With the same honesty & poignancy as 'Silent No More' the vast majority of the words on these pages come directly from the hearts of those who are living with the legacy of Childhood Sexual Abuse. However as we know abuse can come in many forms, some have suffered in other ways and some write from the perspective of being the loved one of a survivor. No matter what the reason is that we each chose to put pen to paper... we share a common goal which is 'healing'. This is not a 'quick fix' book of solutions; I wish we could all have one of those. Healing is a journey which stretches out ahead of you; even when you have done some journeying I believe there is still more that can be done. In this book you will find poetry, blog extracts, art work and more. This book is bursting with hope for healing and how we ourselves are finding healing made possible. We sincerely hope this book will inspire you to follow your own healing path... the pathway to 'Growing Stronger, Growing Free'
