April is child abuse prevention month!

How about trying a few novels that show healing that takes place when God is involved? Here are a few of my books that touch upon that sticky subject and offer hope to people who were hurt as children and carry the scars into their adult lives. These books are intended to help the healing process along... 

About the book:  

Sometimes for dreams to come true, you have to let go . . . Outwardly Diane Simmons appears to have everything a woman could want. A successful attorney, she?'s beautiful and talented, yet she always seems to be attracted to the wrong men. Dave Passel loves his foster son deeply. When the State tries to reunite Joey with the birth mother he has never known, Dave hires Diane to fight for him in court. But as the attraction between them strengthens, they discover that the hardest lesson is learning to let go.

About the book:

After passing out at Jeff's party, Susie becomes pregnant. Because she has no idea who the father is, she considers having an abortion, but decides to place her baby for adoption instead. Everyone seems to have a strong opinion about she should do, but it's her decision to make, and hers alone. Following through ends up being more heart-wrenching than she'd imagined, but she's determined to do the right thing for her baby. She's not ready to be a mother.

Jeff feels guilty about what happened at his party, and he offers to marry Susie so she won't have to give up her baby like his birth mother had done with him. But Susie refuses, insisting he should marry someone he loves and not marry to rescue her from her painful situation. After Susie places her baby with a couple she trusts, she expects to be abandoned, but Jeff sticks with her despite her attempts to discourage him. They grow close as Jeff tries to comfort Susie while she grieves the separation. Will Jeff see the good in Susie's decision and see that what she did is not about him, but what is best for her child?

About the book:

Jovana was held captive by her gypsy boyfriend for seven years, and when he abandons her she returns to her parents' home in Macedonia. Her brother Bojan introduces her to faith and offers her a new life in Arizona. 

While in Arizona, she stays with her future sister-in-law, but as her brother's wedding approaches he is concerned that she will be unsafe staying alone. Her brother has his close friend, her boss Randy, stay with her while they are away to protect her, only she objects to being treated like a child. A handsome stranger is pursuing her and she likes it, but she has no idea his intentions are for her destruction. 

On the other hand her boss, Randy, is a wholesome, good man who even speaks her language. She can't imagine a nice man like him wanting a woman with her history, so she pursues the dangerous man, but she gets in way over her head. At the same time she discovers a surprising attraction to Randy developing, and because she is afraid of her feelings toward him, she does everything she can think of to scare him off. But he's tough to shake loose, which is, of course, exactly what she needs to heal.

Well, I have a number of books about child abuse for a reason. I've worked in the field as a social worker for 20 years with various age groups and different types of abuse, so I understand the effects well. I hope these books aid in your healing process, for that was my intention when writing them.
