Hours of Torture,
Years of Silence

Hours of Torture, Years of Silence shares a victim's strength and courage and how you can bring that to your own recovery.

In this incredibly honest book you're transported into the middle of a crime scene with a young girl in a home on a fog-shrouded street in San Francisco.  An escape 14 hours later from a kidnapper's house, began an incredible journey of recovery that will inspire and encourage you through your own recovery.

That girl was me.

Intimate Therapy Sessions
with a Patient & Therapist



Amazon Kindle
Version Here

You find yourself in a warmly decorated, comforting office.  A lamp in the corner casts a soft glow around the room furnished with a couch and chair in soft brown hues and lovely paintings on the wall.

A man walks in ... he's a professional, well-dressed and confident with kind, compassionate eyes.  He addresses a girl in the room.  She looks somewhat timid, even a bit scared but he asks how she's feeling today. As she begins talking, you realize you're like a fly on the wall of his therapy office, privy to all that she's feeling and saying.  Privy to all the intimate emotions spilling from her about what has happened and how the therapist is responding.  As you continue to listen you realize her emotions, her words, her feelings ... are yours.

Could it be that you weren't at fault for your rape like the therapist is telling the girl?  Could it be that the anger, the depression, the nightmares ... all the rest ... could it be that you don't need to suffer anymore?   That someone can help you stop all this?
