"Cindy's autobiography is a great story of hope through adversity. This book is not just for women who have experienced sexual abuse, but for anyone who has gone through a "rough patch" in their life. This book is a must have for women of any age. This is a great book to reference when you are going through life's trials."

"Cindy writes about her childhood rape at nine years old, being stalked, and sexually assaulted by her father. But her story does not end there-the biggest part of her book is when she finally discovers herself and essentially uncovers the key to a happy life. I cannot explain the feeling of satisfaction and relief that I felt after closing the back cover. One of my favorite things that I learned while reading this book was that no matter what the Church tell you, you are never separated from God. Be prepared to be amazed. And for those of you who do read this book, within the last few pages you will fully understand the meaning of the cover. It is a beautiful image, and knowing the meaning makes it spectacular."
