The Joy That Is Coming

When a stepfather enters the picture and begins sexually abusing his new stepdaughter at the age of ten, she is left wondering if she did something wrong or if his lies are the truth after all. Does she need his touch to be prepared for marriage one day? If she tells someone their secret will she really go to jail for leading him on? For nearly eight years, she endures the abuse while trying to learn how to accept the faith in God her stepfather introduced. When the abuse finally ends, her battle truly begins.
This journey of faith despite horrible abuse is a true story and testimony to the power our God holds. After being rescued from sexual trauma, an eating disorder, a self-harm addiction and many other evils, the struggle to find God and keep faith alight proves to be the greatest battle out there. This memoir shows that God is present even in the darkest shadows of the world and if we are simply willing to trust His plan and His timing, He will come through in the most incredible of ways. From sexual abuse to triumph and working for His kingdom, allow this memoir to take you on a journey and inspire something within you.
