The Shadow in my Eyes
A shockingly, true story of child sexual abuse and a 10-year journey chronicling the journey from a happy childhood, to molestation, abuse, depression, and ultimately the witness stand. Her name is Deborah Rose. She was twelve years old when she was taken to Fairmount Park by a police officer and sexually assaulted. Deborah’s world came crashing down when this highly-decorated and respected officer in the community made it clear that if she ever told, he would kill her.
​
The Shadow in My Eyes was born of Deborah Rose’s personal experiences to stay alive through the struggle and pain of abuse. This book details her experience and provides her readers with recommendations for overcoming the trauma of sexual and physical abuse. “I was a victim, but now I am a survivor, and the purpose of this book is to inspire you to forgive yourself and your abuser. It was written to educate you on how not to allow your past to dominate your present and future. Also, it will encourage readers to accept, own and embrace the past. Understand that there is life after abuse.”
Praise God: I Don't Look Like What I've Been Through
This survivor anthology is an example of resilient women who have chosen to step forward and say enough is enough! I’m no longer going to dwindle in bondage. There are several types of survivor stories in this anthology, prayerfully each story can help and relate to someone in need. We’re standing together as a force to break the constant cycle of trauma that is learned and taught as a way of life. These vicious cycles is passed on from generation to generation that consume and trap us mentally and physically on a daily basis. It takes one survivor after another to show that “YOU” can also tell, live, and start your journey to freedom. The normalcy of trauma, hurt, and pain can cause your life to stay in a standstill of inertia. I admire all of the survivors that are stepping forward with their heart and soul to tell their truth, in order to shine light on those that feel like it is only darkness in this world.
