Dedication and Introduction
It covers to whom the book was written and the fact that all names kin the book have been
changed to protect the privacy of all involved. The introduction describes the reason the book
was written. Outline of three things a victim can do to protect themselves and how later
chapters go more into that subject. This section is to reassure victims not to believe everything
they hear from the abusers and to let go of the self-blame. Reassures them are no alone. It
tells of the importance of prevention. It describes healthy verses unhealthy relationships. The
poem, "Long Ago and Far Away" shows how we need to self-love ourselves first. Under the
heading “Our Healthy Needs", we see how unhealthy thoughts are created and how society
influences family values.
Chapter One
A Ray of Hope
In a creative and intimate way, her words in the chapter reflect on her painful past from the
more positive present. Giving the bible account of Job as an example we see painful
endurance being rewarded by God. Also she shares a letter she wrote in therapy that has
become over the years a self-fulfilling prophecy. Everything I wanted for myself has come true
5. Pg. 05
Under the heading of "Dance of Life", it describes positive feelings with the illustration of a
dance. Music has more meaning, she stops dancing, just long enough to reflect on the past as
a learning tool. She continues to dance with eyes closed in complete trust. She refers to hope
as a ray of sunshine, a rainbow at the end of the storm and a light at the end of a tunnel. This
chapter is to lift and inspire the reader that there is hope amidst the darkness of abuse. There
is a way out.
Chapter Two
The Many Faces of Abuse
It is the intention to explain four common types of abuse. Answering questions such as, how is
an abuser created? The beginning of a two and a half year journey into this abusive
relationship is told. From the day she and him met to their engagement, with all the warning
signs there, yet overlooked. It goes into his past relationship and why starting a family became
an obsession with him. Under the heading, "To Love and be Loved", it discusses her birth and
upbringing in a dysfunctional American family. It starts by telling of my mother’s attempt to be a
single parent along with all the hardships. She realizes later how possessive and controlling
her mother was. How her affection and over protectiveness was mistaken for love. Abuse has
many sugar coated faces and an innocent child only knows what they are taught.
Chapter Three
Reflections on Inner Peace
How do we create inner peace? This chapter goes into some common misconceptions and
unproven methods. Describing society’s addiction to work and pleasures and what we need to
heal for love and acceptance. Under the heading, "Love, Innocence and Birth", it speaks about
our lost innocence. She writes how her mother created her views today. Her anger from the
hurt that was suppressed She stared to recall but never being believed and needing the trust
faith and right kind of love to heal and be whole again.
