Overview

This book is a true story about how I was sexually abused from the time I was a small child into my adulthood. I talk about when a neighborhood boy and myself was kidnapped off my front porch by a stranger. My story goes on to talk about my mom being a divorced mother of two. She went to her sister and asked if she could babysit my older brother and myself while she worked? During that time I was sexually abused by my uncle and two of my cousins. My book talks about when my mom had met a man and had a baby with him. It goes on to talk about how much my moms, my brother and my life would change from that point on. It talks about our family vacations. How we dressed, from the type of clothes to the school and kids we were around. This book will tell you how I came to admire and adore this man as my father. How I would put in a little extra work to make him proud of me. Or how I would want to spend time with him like a daughter and father do together. How I felt that I had let him down, when I was nineteen years old. My story then comes to the point where my world came crashing down ( and my drug use began) at the age of twenty one, when the man I came to look so highly up to raped me.

About the Author

I was born and raised in a north eastern state with two brothers from my mom. I also have a brother and sister from my dad that lives in another state. My parents were divorced when I was very young, so I had to split my time with both of them. I grew up with having a step dad and a step mom, both I thought were very good to me while growing up. I had a difficult time when I was in grade school and was then tested and found out, I had a learning disability. Growing up, it was easy for me to make friends with my peers and with teachers that I had while in school. I did graduate high school and made my parents and myself proud. I had met a young man while in high school and we had a baby together. The father and I ended up getting married, but the marriage didn't last long. I raised our son (that has challenges himself) alone except for the help that I received from my mom. Over the years his father and I have reconnected and have become good, close friends and help our child any way we can, together. We are now grandparents to a wonderful grandchild that brightens our days. Never thought I could love someone as much as I do my own child, until our grandchild enter our lives and I love him just as much. It took me over 20years to write this book due to the people that are involved. I didn't and don't want to hurt anyone. I have always protected the ones that I love. I needed to write this book for a couple different reasons. Frist, for myself help and healing. I've found out that writing is therapeutic for me. I also wrote this book hoping that it might help someone that may be going through the same or close to the same as I did within my life. Also, If this book helps one person, then something good has come out of what I went through in my life. I'm still single but that's ok with me. I have God, family, my best friend (sister) Kaye and close friends that stand by my side and are there if and whenever I was to need them.
