"Because they often distrust others, abuse victims have difficulty letting those who might be able to help them into their lives. The healing journey is often painful and frightening, and many choose not to make the trip. Laurie Forbes is one who chose the path to healing, in her case, from the effects of childhood sexual abuse perpetrated by her alcoholic father. Laurie's story will touch all who read it. Victims, family and friends of survivors, clergy, therapists, and anyone concerned with the destructive effects of childhood abuse on our society will be deeply affected by this book. Few books possess such depth, honesty, and sincerity."
-Susan L Ericksen, RN, LMFT

Laurie Forbes speaks to us from the pages of her journal, in a voice that ranges from matter-of-fact to eloquent, the pain of recalling sexual and emotional abuse and grief for the loss of her mother and two infant children. But hers is a story, not of sadness, but of battling back from the most painful of recollections to a life that she can once more take joy in living.

Laurie lives her faith by finding the strength to persevere, and to forgive and set the stage for the salvation of those by whom she was abused.

As we witness her healing process unfolding, we come to know and respect Laurie, grateful for her willingness to share a story that will inspire us to face and transcend our own trials.
