What an emotional read. It was very hard to read on many levels, but it is also a healing read.
Many people have has a sexual trauma and never told a soul and never healed or forgave.
There is so much to be learned by this book..
In todays society it is not unheard of but years ago you never heard of all the children being taken advantage of and all the college girls being taken advantage of.
This is a much needed book in this day and time.
If you know someone who needs to heal from this, give this book a try. It is filled with scripture and great advice to over come the shame as well as help on a path of recovery.
I gave this book 4 stars. Give it a try for your self or a loved one.
I was given a copy book by the publisher for my honest review.
