Description

Julie kept the blinds up so that the street light would dance across her room in the dark night and comfort her. She thought she saw a shadow in the faint light of her bedroom. She could smell in the darkness the odor of alcohol and lingering cigarette smoke. As she bolted up in her bed, she felt herself trembling and pulled her dolls close to her side and clutched them tightly. Her emotions surged within her. Why? Why? she thought. 'What is wrong with me? Who can I tell? Who would believe me? The Shattering is the compelling true story of a little girl who overcame the horrors of sexual abuse. In the devastation of abuse, hope, love, and innocence are shattered. So often the beauty of a life is thwarted and darkness covers the soul in a blanket of pain and sorrow. It is in this darkness that secrets are kept- secrets that cause fear and shame, guilt and blame. One cannot live the life that God intended when these secrets ravish the soul and destroy the heart. It is in these moments that hope flickers, and it is important that one knows that God has not forsaken them, that He is not the cause of man's sins but the solution to our restoration. 'Just as Marty has kept her faith, keep reading, keep believing, and see the wonderful loving power of God.' -Larry D. Stewart, Jr., Family Preservation and Reunification Specialist 'Life-changing... The Shattering draws the reader into the joy of overcoming in victory' -Nathaniel Johnson, Executive Director and Founder of Step into Life Ministries http: //marshabarth.tateauthor.co
