Touched: and it was our little secret

It is said that child abuse affects more than three million children annually. Studies show that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys are victims of child sexual abuse. The reality is the true numbers are probably much worse than that and much worse than we can imagine. I want to take you on a journey into my own story. For six years of my childhood I was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of someone that was supposed to be protecting me. Those six years radically affected my childhood and the effects of that abuse had far reaching consequences into my adulthood. This riveting book invites you into that journey to give you firsthand accounts of the abuse, the long term affects and the process of healing. It is my hope that this book would be more than just a good read, but that it would be an experience that leaves you informed and empowered. Whether you are a victim of sexual abuse yourself or you know people who have been, "Touched" is sure to serve as a tool of hope and healing!
