Despising the Shame (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

When Sallie Culbreth began to search for the house where her grandfather sexually abused her as a child, she thought she’d just go take a few pictures in front of it to use as a backdrop to promote her organization, Committed to Freedom. She thought she would find the small house setting of her childhood nightmares. Instead, she found a structure torn apart by a tornado and she was able to walk through it for the first time in decades. As she moved through the house, it became a looking glass through which she saw the destruction that abuse had brought to her life. The obliterated house became a powerful metaphor for the pain of abuse and the journey beyond it. Despising the Shame is a moving exploration of Sallie’s story of childhood sexual abuse, its damaging legacy, and the courageous steps that brought her to a place of truth and empowerment.
