This book is dedicated to my husband, Brian. Thank you for all of your support and encouragement. For loving me in my darkest times and never giving up on me or us. To my four boys: Alex, Sean, Matthew, and Austin. You boys have cheered me on and encouraged me. To my mother-in-law, Barbara, thank you for all your support and encouragement. To all the people who have supported me, encouraged me, and prayed for me. You know who you are. Most importantly, God. Without Him I wouldn’t be able to write this book.
Heavenly Father, I pray for the person reading Your story. You know what it is they are dealing with. I pray that you give them strength. Let them know they are not alone. Place them in the right places with the right people. I pray that whoever reads this book finds their voice. They find the courage to speak up. I know how hard it is having this control your life.

But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good.
GENESIS 50:20
I am writing this book to tell my story on how being sexually abused has affected me. How holding on and not speaking up has caused me a lot of pain. My abuse happened at an early age. I kept It away from everyone, suffering in silence and isolation. I pushed it down and tried to pretend that it never happened. I hated myself. I didn’t think there would ever be a way out for me. It consumed my life… every second of every day. It was all I could think about, no matter how many years had passed. It was still with me. I’m writing this book to tell how through Jesus, I was able to overcome. I pray that this book really touches the hearts of those who read it.

He was doing everything he could to keep me from finding freedom. He wasn’t going to let me go.
I was told at a young age that I was called by God to be a minister. God even gave me my name! See, I am the youngest of five kids and the only girl. My mom had four boys. A girl was something she had always wanted. When she was pregnant, she had a girl’s name picked out: Kelly Sue. But God told her to name me Angela Dawn because I was going to be the
