In her simple, unpretentious style, Virginia tells her story of a lifetime marked by sexual abuse and trauma and the resulting drug and alcohol abuse and self-hatred. It's not an easy read, but it's not meant to be. It goes deep into the dark recesses of a troubled mind, revealing the daily struggle of trying to be a successful wife and mother while being sucked into a whirlpool of depression, guilt, shame, and self-destruction. But it also shows us that hope is a tiny seed that can survive in the deepest darkness, and if gently tended with faith and love, can grow into a fierce power. It's an important story to tell, because it reflects the lives of millions of women who experienced the same traumas. They still hold the unspoken truth deep in their hearts and dare not hope for a better life. With the publishing of this book, Virginia hopes to inspire these women to look deep inside and find that hope, tend that seed, and find their healing.
