Publisher's Synopsis
"There has been so much pain in my life, pain in my heart and the pain of being beaten so badly that death was a welcome thought."
Twenty people are physically abused by a loved one...every minute of every day. This is more than 10 million victims of domestic violence a year.
Offering a hard look inside the life of a victim of domestic violence, Dawn shares her pain, heartache, and fear as she walks you through the thirteen years of horrific abuse at the hands of her husband.
Beaten, cut, and stabbed numerous times throughout the years, it was her faith in Jesus Christ that would see her through the dark years that lay ahead.
Your heart will pound as Dawn takes you through her death-defying escape in order to save the lives of her children. It would take years to overcome the shame, guilt, and unworthiness that attached themselves throughout her life.
You will journey back in time as she relives childhood memories of a scared little girl who felt lost and invisible throughout her childhood years. But even as a small child, she held on to hope through Jesus Christ.
Get ready for your heart to fill with joy as Dawn shares her journey to freedom as God calls her to action. She must use her voice once again in order to change a legacy of silence that has been passed down through generations.
You will see God use her trials in life in order to fulfill his purpose.
"For I know the plans I have for you, ' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11).
