About this ebook
Imagine a little girl that lived for many years in terror and fear.
She would experience sexual abuse, rape and other forms of abuse.
The word normal was not in her vocabulary. Therefore she ultimately began to make unhealthy choices for herself and her children. Feeling as though she had inflicted her trauma on her children seemed to worsen the guilt. Mavis seemed to function in crisis. She would live many years before finding the Truth.
Eventually Mavis would find forgiveness and learn how to forgive others. Through this forgiveness the Lord would restore relationships and show her the meaning of complete joy. Only He can restore abuse to preservation and respect, terror to joy and happiness, fear to courage and bravery, trauma to healing, crisis to peace, guilt to innocence, shame to honor and respect, and turn your sorrow to joy.
The past does not define who we are or our destiny for the present or future. The abuse is what happened to me, but it is not who I am. I have finally found my true identity.
Mavis Garrison
Mavis at seventy-two is a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She recently retired from twenty-five plus years working with abused and at-risk youth. Mavis lives with her husband, Don, and their dog, Glory, in Dunn, North Carolina. As Mavis was preparing to submit the manuscript for this book, she found herself moving from Tennessee to North Carolina to be closer to family due to Don’s medical issues. She and Don are enjoying this last season of their livesand look forward to spending time with family and friends. They are excited about what the Lord has for the rest of their days.
