This is a glimpse of one person’s years of survival through writing. In these pages are private writings from preteen to adulthood…the result of deep, restless thoughts in the late, midnight hours.

I brought them together in the hopes that others might identify with them and find their own means of coping with being a survivor of childhood abuse.

One reader has emailed me to say her healing from childhood abuse has been "like a peeling of an onion, and this book has peeled off one more layer."

Making a positive difference in someone's life is a blessing we should all strive for. I thank her for her wonderful comment!
