Providence

by Laurel Hall

Overview

At age four, Emma was sexually abused by neighborhood boys—abuse that continued for four years. With no one to tell, not even her parents, her life was filled with pain, shame and misery. She handled her emotional anguish the only way she knew how: by making plenty of mistakes, giving in to anger, suffering mental illness and anxiety attacks, and living a life devoid of joy or self-love. This is her story. A story of survival, and of overcoming emotional, physical and sexual abuse to find true happiness in marriage, family and God. Sexual abuse destroys lives, but with the love of a good man and the love of God, Emma was able to recover. She hopes this inspiring tale will help others who have suffered similar abuse find peace.
