ABOUT THE BOOK

This is Not My Life

My story has taken years to uncover, document and understand. I began this journey of discovery when I was 43 years old. When my father died unexpectedly from an accident in his home, I entered into deep depression. But it took 9 years before I was completely ready to face the facts that were trying so desperately to surface. I spent those 9 years being medicated with anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication. None of these treatments “cured” me. Needless to say, none of the counselors were looking for sexual abuse because I did not present myself as an abuse victim. I just did not know why I was the way I was.

But God was using all these experiences during this time. Jesus was walking right by my side during the physical and mental ups and downs of this time. And He knew I had to walk this path to heal. He knew it was the right time and the perfect time for me to face this past trauma.
