Author of Top Selling Book Voiceless Voices" Words from a Broken Heart & Renewed Soul, Khalilah Purnell has done it again with her new book, titled "Thorns of a Rose" Pain to Purpose. Although leaving the devil's formation and control was what she needed, she worried about the safety of her younger brother, and what would happen to him if she left. Would he start touching on her brother? Beating her brother? Khalilah turned to promiscuity for many years after being kicked out of the house that was supposed to be home and went to live with her father's sister in another part of the city of Philly, where she raised her niece, alongside her own three girls. Growing up, although safe at the home of her aunt, Khalilah was filled with anger, resentment, bitterness, worry, depression, hate, and many other emotions throughout her teenage, young adult, and adult years of her life, even after giving birth to her only child. No one knew that she was being molested, only physically abused, because she was too afraid to disclose that information to anyone out of fear of what would happen to her until she was in a different state many years later. Thorns of a Rose is a reality in the life of Author Khalilah Purnell, and how her life was able to change after the molestation, pain, betrayal, abandonment, years of silent tears, fake smiles, suicide attempts, self-hate, lies, promiscuity, hurting others, and more. God stepped in right on time and blessed her life with purpose. A purpose that was for herself, but a purpose that was also greater than herself. Thorns of A Rose is a fact-based story that shows the thoughts of how a Rose filled with thorns was able to bloom and continues to grow, with an unlocked heart, with purpose.
