Sharon suffered continual physical and sexual abuse from her
stepfather for seven years. Unfortunately, no one would listen to
her or believe her story. At age 16, she finally finds the courage
to flee from her tormenters. Social Services find her the first of
a string of temporary jobs between which she criss-crosses England
trying to find a safe haven.
However, she cannot escape her "night devil" completely until
she comes to terms with her past. Sharon's growth and recovery from
abuse and learning to accept love would be a long road to travel,
taking nearly forty years to achieve. She had to learn to trust and
love herself before she could another.
Faced with society's judgments against her, Sharon stood alone
against the people who abused her for seven years. The truth is, we
don't start to heal when taken from an abusive situation; we only
start to digest and relive its emotional content. Many go on to
live their lives with tortured souls and an inability to trust and
love their own children.
Equally, many of us find the inner child that God intended; we
pull that child past the empty adult left by years of mutilation of
our childhood souls. I was a no-hoper, unjustly cast out into a
world of desolation and loneliness that pulled at my heart like a
lead weight. I self-harmed and mutilated parts of my mind and body
to try and erase memories.
Eventually, I learned that healing was within me and could never
be found under that largest or smallest boulder. I have walked the
road of hope and desire and looked into the pool of my future. I
did not want to be the mother they had raised, or the wife they had
created. Slowly, I started to rebuild my life and my wish is that
this book offers the same hope to you.
Therapists' Acclaim for "Surviving a House Full of
Whispers"
"This is the story of one girl's fear and battle to survive the
emotional traumas and deprivation of her past. I can thoroughly
recommend this book which will help anyone who is, or has, suffered
abuse."
--Lynda Bevan, author Life After Betrayal
"A very honest account, and a very accurate view of the feelings,
thoughts and behaviors of people traumatized in childhood and
youth. If you suffered in childhood, or are in a helping position
to those who have, then you must read this book."
