The purpose of this book is to let those, who are unfortunate enough to be born into the wrong circumstances, know there are people who care and can help them. They just need to be careful in their choices. She shares her story with the hope it will help other victims of sexual and physical abuse understand they are not alone, that there are "kind strangers" who care and can make a difference.
This is a memoir, not an expose'. The account is a consortium of abuse, fear, happy times, frustration, confusion, elation, survival and BEYOND. It introduces many kind strangers who helped the girl gain the strength to not only survive, but thrive.
The book's epilogue outlines some of the processes that have helped Jeanne to reach beyond survival and focus forward.
Jeanne now lives with her husband, Robert, in their mountain home in Foresthill, CA.view less
