Read your book and thought of you today. Did you know how much help you are? I haven’t read a story as helpful as yours and believe it’s God’s way of using you to help others. Thank you for allowing yourself to give so graciously through your story. Can’t wait to read your sequel!

Dear Loretta,

Thank you for your kind compliments and thinking of me; your thoughts touched my heart! I never know how much my story may have helped someone unless they write and share with me as you did. For that I’m grateful. I feel privileged to hear back from someone, whether my story helped or disturbed them, because knowing helps me understand myself better. It’s always been my hope and desire that those who read my story leave with the knowledge of what can happen to a child who has been repeatedly abused during childhood. Not all children survive through dissociation. I was blessed to receive such a God-sent coping mechanism. I honestly feel heartbroken for those who can not dissociate while being abused. I was fortunate to survive. God never once left me.

Wishing you all my best!

Karen
