Let me say, I am extremely humbled by the opportunities I've had because of my first book, God, Do I Hear Wedding Bells? This book opened up so many doors for me to speak out against domestic violence. This book is not nor has it ever been a "tell all" book regarding my former marriage. My ex-husband was very supportive of this book financially, emotionally and he also attended my first book signing back in 2007. We both have had to endure painful memories in our lives and wanted to share with anyone who wanted to read it. I dedicated this book to him as well because we both gained a testimony out of it (look how God works).
As I have written plenty other books, blogs and various writings that have been published, this book is and will always be my "baby". If you have read the book, please ask others to come out and purchase this book to help me continue to provide domestic violence awareness and educational workshops in our communities.
This is a fictional story of some of the experiences I actually went through while in a domestic violence relationship. My prayer for this book is to not point fingers at anyone but for people to gain wisdom and seek God to be delivered from their shortcomings (we all have at least one).
Remember as you go forth in life: BREAK THE SILENCE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!!!!
What you are doing is so important! Just because you put your face, your experience and your testimony on display for the whole world to see, you are encouragement to that person who is struggling with reaching out for help. May you continually be blessed for it! I pray that your books and blogs reach the eyes of those that need freedom for domestic violence. May they find their voices and break the silence! Love you cousin!
