April is sexual assault awareness month! Here are some recommended books.

I have written about a variety of situations in my novels which include sexual assault from strangers, attacks while the victim is unconscious, incest, forced prostitution, and date rape, etc. Here are a few of my novels that depict different women's journeys (and one male's) showing how they deal with the after-affects of that kind of trauma. You can read about their emotional and spiritual healing and how they leaned on God and used the loving friendship of others to turn things around in their lives.

Some are in paperback and some are in e-book format only (at this time.) Just click on the covers to read more about the books...

Why so many books about this topic, you ask? I've been a social worker for over two decades and I've seen the after-effects of sexual assault that can damage many lives if ignored. The victim isn't the only victim when wounded people aren't able to function because of the pain. So I write about these situations to hopefully aid victims in the healing process. The more aware people are of these issues, the more they will realize that they have friends, neighbors, coworkers, family members, etc that have gone through similar scenarios. It's not as uncommon as you'd think. The statistics are staggering, in fact. So make yourself more aware by reading a good book! :)
