It's a problem that most of us would like to pretend doesn't exist — especially in LDS homes.
In this gospel-centered approach to healing from abuse, a popular LDS author and mother of ten shares her personal experience as a childhood victim of abuse.
She describes the path to healing that has helped her break the cycle of family destruction. She writes, "I know what it feels like when every single part of your body aches with a sadness far deeper than any physical injury or illness you've known."
As a fellow traveler, she discusses specific gospel principles that have helped her move forward with love and forgiveness. With hope and encouragement, she discusses our need for the Savior, the purpose of pain, misonceptions about forgiveness, and the power of prayer to help victims answer the critical questions: How do I forgive? How do I heal? How do I move on?
