"A
must read! Eye-opening, gripping, heart-breaking yet truthful! One of
the most insidious crimes that a child could ever endure. The courage
to write this book is commendable, as it begins to break the silence of
incest for all children. If you work with, care for, or have children,
you need to educate yourself about the impact of incest on the most
innocent victims of all - our children. Public awareness and education
begin within these pages. We all have a part to play in breaking the
silence and shame surrounding child sexual abuse. This book will make
a difference!"

"Rare,
riveting reading, Williams powerfully shouts that a tsunami of child
sexual abuse has broken across America. She knows as an incest victim;
she poignantly paints her struggle as a survivor; she urgently leads as
a victor. This is a must-read for anyone who leads at any level --
home, neighborhood, community, state or nation. Packed with relevant
data yet crafted intimately ....It takes some courage to read; imagine
what it took for her to write!"

"Thank
you, Angela Williams, for writing a book for every young woman of high
school age and above! After over 30 years of National Pro-Family work
with young women, I am aware of hundreds of thousands of young women
victimized by sexual abusers on many different levels. They are broken
people, and incest is often the breaking point. You didn't just tell
your story, but you offer hope and help to hurting young women and men
who desperately need it. You give insight, candid description, and key
resources and safe places to contact. You captured my heart when you
said, 'God's grace won't take you beyond His mercy.' I was captivated
from page 1 to the end."

Angela
Williams has opened her heart with all of the pain, the shame, the
heartache, and the secrets she suffered. She has laid it out for all to
see with honesty and openess that is rare. With the healing that she
has received, she offers the hope and the help to others who have been
burdened with a painful and shameful past. The very things that could
have been kept her in bondage, have been used by God to show that
freedom is available and life once scarred can have beauty and
purpose!

It
took great courage for Ms. Williams to write this book. She digs deeply
within herself and doesn't hold anything back. I was deeply impressed
by the fact that she brought out the way victims learn to become
manipulative in order to survive. She did a good job of explaining why
relationships are so difficult for victims of child molestation. As a
Victim Advocate, this book gave me more insight into the reasoning
process that shapes the lives of many of the victims I serve. It is
well worth reading.

Angela's
ability to come forward with such honesty and detail is amazing. This
book can help all survivors of child abuse - sexual and/or physical. I
recently had the pleasure of meeting Angela and she is even more warm
and beautiful than her book and website portray. God truly had and
continues to have His Hand on her life.
--Incest Survivor & Child Advocate
It's
incredible that Angie could survive all of this, but she credits her
Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, for victory over the unbelievable
abuse she lived through. God is certainly bigger than all the demonic
powers on this earth. To God be the glory for saving Angie and
demonstrating His sovereignty in her life. I pray He will use her story
to help others who have experienced such terror to come forward and
join Angie's campaign to end childhood sexual abuse!
