Deborah begins the story by telling of her constant struggle with neck pain that she has had to deal with for as long as she can remember, but does not know the cause of it. One night while using the restroom, an incident happened that lead to her being admitted to a hospital for neck surgery. During the surgery, Deborah experiences memory flashbacks about the incident that lead to this.
Deborah goes on to tell the story of how the disruption and abuse (sexual and physical) began with her grandparents and continued on down to her.
While reading this book, I had to stop several times. The unimaginable horrors that the women in this family endured is horrific. As I read it, I felt angry and hatred towards the parents. How could the mothers justify not protecting their kids is beyond me. Plus the anger and sorrow I felt for the author as she told of her loveless marriage and crap husband. How much can one person endure without giving up on life. What Deborah experienced would break most people. She however goes on to describe how she felt God had bigger plans for her and that she was here for a reason, and the ability to go on and forgive those who tried to destroy her. I feel the author did an amazing job at telling her story. I applaud her for having the courage to tell something so personal and horrendous. I received this book free in exchange for my honest opinion.
