Show them your scars.

Compelled by my ongoing healing, I wrote Set Free: God’s Healing Power for Abuse Survivors and Those Who Love Them. The book reveals the pain of six women. A part of me, of every abused child, lies in each one.

Meet Elaine, the daughter of evil; Liz, the keeper of shameful secrets; Debi, the prostitute; Gayle, the daughter of condemnation; Karissa, the party girl; and Gloria, the hardened heart. You might discover yourself or someone you know.

The child abuse statistics are harrowing:

·        Every two minutes a child is sexually assaulted.

·        Fifty million women in the U.S., or one in three, were abused as children.

·        Two children die daily in the U.S. at the hands of an abuser. 

·        Eighty percent of substance abusers were abused as children.
