Her story will help those who have gone through similar experiences to heal and to save future generations from going through the same experiences. The author shares some of her mistakes, survival strategies, and some lessons she has learnt over the years. The fact that she survived to where she is in life today serves as an encouragement that you rise against all odds to succeed in life by faith in God. For parents this book shares some import- ant strategies on how to protect and empower our daughters. It questions some of the traditional ap- proaches we have adopted as a society in dealing with problems that girls face like understanding their bodies and sexuality. It boldly touches on ta- boo issues like rape, sexual abuse, paedophilia, and incest which are very prevalent in our society but are swept under the rug to protect society at large whiles the victims are left to suffer in silence. This book tells us some uncomfortable truths we need to hear so that we can sit up and protect the precious women and girls God has put in our lives.
