Dear Reader,
I have decided to reach down and strap my shoes on your feet, and bid you to walk with me and together we will warily retrace the path of my childhood.
I am raising funds to publish the memoir, A Girl at the Bottom of the Stairs.
This book is an effort not only to share my story, but to educate readers about predators, abuse, sex trafficking, and the (possibly misunderstood) other side of society.
My story may sound unbelievable with the sheer numbers of predators, abusers, and potential saviors who entered and exited my young life. It’s a horror story that will break your heart and challenge your faith in humanity. And every word is true. Now expand that to realize that my experiences, though seemingly hidden from “public” are devastatingly common. I am just one, representing a sea of unknown faces. I want to bring our reality to light, to help you SEE the children trapped in this underworld right before your eyes.
Learn the signs. Expose the perpetrators. Save the children.
How to make it happen… Educate Yourself. Help Create Awareness. Be Part of the Solution.
About me… I am a Survivor of Trauma and live a life Devoted to God. Everything in between is in the book.
