People who have been victims of child abuse may have kept their secrets all their lives, but sometimes the time comes to tell their stories. Jasmine Ferrard tells the story of a woman who has had to face obstacle after obstacle, starting in early childhood. She has faced horrible, terrifying, and disgusting experiences throughout her life, and has gone through significant amounts of hurt and heartache. Now she seeks to tell her story so that others dealing with similar situations will know they are not alone. It is never too late to move forward with your life, even though someone has tried to steal it from you. Be strong, pray, and let nothing take away your faith that—even through the worst experiences—you will be okay. You can still be the great person that you once dreamed you would be. This memoir, the first of a series, tells one woman’s story of pain and abuse with the hope of inspiring others to be strong.
