Broken Child Broken Woman - Charles Lee Robinson - Bog

Everyone has a story; this book just happens to be a glimpse into the story of my life. I guess you can say it's the story of many lives. As I traveled through life's journey, I met many who had similar, if not the same stories. My life was tumultuous; I grew from a broken child to a broken woman. Despite the trials and tribulations life threw at me, I was blessed with five beautiful children, and I embraced every ounce of good times when they did happen. I was the oldest, as a child I had adult responsibilities and I had to grow up fast. I am a survivor of molestation, some may call themselves a victim, but not me. The struggle was hard because it changed the course of my life, but I knew I had to persevere. I married way too young, and although my children loved me unconditionally, I was never able to find that kind of love from a man. I was inspired to write my story because no child should have to suffer from the actions of a molester. The person who is supposed to love and take care of them would take the very thing that protected that child, their innocence. Their first line of defense has been destroyed, and the child is left with nothing but pain and confusion. Generation after generation of molestation is repeated and kept quiet as a dirty little secret. My prayer is the following pages will bring hope, freedom, triumph, and relief to those who were met with the same fate. This is my story.
