A WORD FROM READERS

* * *

Molleigh, Let me congratulate you on your courageous memoir. It takes a lot of courage to write such a personal and painful story, even when there's redemption at the end, and I admire you for it.

This is a very powerful piece. It is something that can strike a chord with many women across the world. I want to applaud you for having the courage and strength to tell your story so others can find their way to God. It’s emotional, it’s relatable, and it’s a help book for those trying to find a way out of abuse. Again, I think it’s excellent.

So personal, so pure. Truly a powerful story about rising from the fire and not letting your past determine who you are.

DEDICATIONS

To God, to glorify you.

Without you, I am nothing.

To my Daughter,

I will always be there to hold your hand.

I will never leave you.

To my Grandfather, my biggest fan and motivator all my life; the man who has always stood by me to cheer me on.

To my Husband. You are a gift from God. I love you, forever and always.

PSALM 27 (KJV)

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore, will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

When thou saidst, seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, thy face, Lord, will I seek.

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

A LETTER TO YOU

Dear Reader,

God speaks to us through our gifts and abilities. A gift of mine has always been picking up a pen and paper and writing; whether I was in grade school writing for a class assignment or in the back of my mother's car writing anything ranging from nonfiction to stories.

This gift is so grand that when I have an idea, I can't write it down fast enough before my hand starts to ache. I used to write a family member letters just to proofread and send back to me. That was how I learned grammar and writing skills, as this family member was an English teacher.

Writing has always been not only therapeutic, but an escape for me to process and explain how I feel where my spoken word is lacking. I am head over heels in love with writing.

I have suppressed this God-given talent for more than a decade. Upon reading this, you will discover why that came to be, but I decided, no more.

I hid my writing in fear for a long time, but God has shown me that it is my gift, and keeps putting it in my heart to write this book, not just for me, but for anyone of my generation that needs to overcome something in their life.

Even when I have strayed from writing, I’ve always found my way back. I love being able to explain myself and engage you, the reader, in a story through my eyes.

Writing has always been my outlet, and no one can take away my words. No one can erase what I am putting on this piece of paper. No one can take this, my gift, from me. My words are definite; my ability to explain, to paint a picture of what I have overcome and what you too can overcome, is within my realm of expertise.

After suffering through a painful childhood where I endured everything from verbal and physical abuse to the worst thing you could imagine, something it’s taboo to even mention—sexual abuse—I have some insight for you, a view from the inside.

I have overcome these struggles over a decade later, and my goal is to show you, or anyone you know who is suffering from trauma, that a traumatic and terrible situation can be turned around. For me, this was done through the grace of God, but whatever your beliefs are, your situation is possible to overcome.

In order for you, the reader, to fully understand my story as a whole, I must start from the beginning, or you will be lost. The events that have occurred have led me to where I am today, and are meant to show you that no matter what you go through in life, whatever tragedy you may encounter; you can, if you are willing, come out on top.

God has led me to write a story to inspire and show you how I have overcome it all, and telling every little detail is not a necessity
