DESCRIPTION:
"there is beauty in destruction and it comes in the form of restoration. Here is my journey of breaking free, allowing myself to process through the pain of what I endured, and discovering the truth of who I am. Such a restoration comes through the process of discovering where value is truly found, which was established at the beginning of creation in the beauty of a Savior.". This is the story of a girl experiencing darkness, surviving, thriving, becoming new, finding true security and strength, and shining a light. As a young teen, I was sexually assaulted by a man in his thirties for over a year while I babysat his girlfriend’s daughter. From the moment the truth was exposed and into my adult years, my healing was stunted by the surrounding circumstances
While the situations described here are devastating and emotionally gruesome, the reader is focused more on the psychological effects, and the story does not wallow in repetitive or unnecessary sin portrayal. "Kristi Whitten has penned her story with rare and articulate transparency. In short, this is a classy book, graciously executed, and, if allowed, powerfully transformative." Stephanie Byers, B.S. Written in a manner that never gets dry, this book informs the reader of important truths in a language very understandable yet graciously eloquent. Secondary Education, Stay at Home Mom
Rebekah Palmer said Recommended for All. Mrs. Whitten has shown bravery in penning her story. She eloquently shares the tapestry of feelings she has undergone as an adult survivor of child and teen sexual assault. Men must read this book to understand consent and sexual advance, to understand that love and sex are two different matters of the heart and that sexual violence is not about how one feels about another but the power and control they have over a soul. Women must read this book to understand how support and listening can be a reprieve and sanctuary to . "A rich read!" according to jordang. Such a well written and detailed journey from start to finish. Kristi shares the difficult details of the abuse she endured, the failure of those around her and the Planned parenthood organization, as well as her overcoming. Kristi's story is a wonderful testimony to Christ and healing through Him. She also gives much insight on the (seemingly small) details and methods of many child sex offenders that teach people whom parent or work with children that may help identify situations where sexual abuse may be present.This . A truly amazing read OnyxAxylea Deep and insightfulThis book is extremely well-written and personal.
