About this listen

At the young age of three, while I was at school, my mother was murdered by her abusive new boyfriend. What would happen to her five unintentionally abandoned children?

The heartbreak of the devastating loss of my mother was just the beginning of a series of tragic events that shaped my childhood. Lost in the chaos of abuse, I was the unseen collateral damage of domestic violence. I was forced to take on the role of the invisible child for self-preservation. I figured you can't hurt what you can't see.

Despite all the sadness in this book, my story has a happy ending. Overcoming obstacles that were meant to destroy me taught me many powerful lessons about strength, resilience, and faith. I want to show you that no matter how dark your world seems, there is a light shining right outside the door. You just need to have faith and keep moving forward step by step until you find your peace. Trust me, no matter where your story lies, you can find happiness.

Contains mature themes.

An OK story, adequately told, very religious

I don’t have a problem with religion, but I do have a problem with the fact that this story seems to present recovery from an abusive childhood as impossible without God. And I don’t like or agree with that message.

The Story was OK. But I don’t think it was particularly well told. A lot of the language used was extremely repetitive. The “what I have learned” sections felt really shallow to me. A lot of “love yourself” and “recognize when you’re being abused”, without any meaningful information on how to accomplish that. And the nature of trauma is such that loving yourself, and recognizing abuse are essentially impossible for abused children. I’m glad it worked out for the writer, but I wasn’t a big fan of this book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
