The Secrets I kept

Secrets only have power in the dark, but in the light, they die off like fungus. Kiva McClendon Crutcher is a new Author. She has a heart of compassion for others in the recovery process. In her story she speaks about the trauma from childhood and her battle with addiction as well as her success in Recovery. Child sexual abuse is not only challenging, but can strip you from the very thing that kept you safe mentally and emotionally.When the silence of keeping the abuse inside destroys our God given right to be happy and free, we find courage from within to speak our truthAlong with trust issues It can be even harder to recover from trauma when family members discredit and minimize your pain. No matter where you are in your life mentally, physically, or spiritually, God can and He will put your broken pieces together so perfectly that your past will look like a lie. If you have picked up my book, please take it home and read it for identification purposes, while allowing the God in me to touch the God in you.
