My fourth book is out, and I’m so excited to share it with you!
In Sunbeams Through Blankets: An Inspirational Guide to Surviving Familial Sex Trafficking, I continue to use a hybrid format of poetry, prose, and artwork to shed light on the familial element of the human trafficking spectrum by describing my vivid flashbacks and the abusive situations that have been most strongly seared into my memory.
Along with sharing how I survived my abuse, I discuss ways for survivors of trauma to heal and grow based on techniques that I have used successfully, including art therapy. In fact, I have put colored images of my works throughout the book.
Through this book, I strive to bring hope to those who suffer. I also hope to inspire agency in those who read my book, encouraging people to help save children who are trapped in the grips of the inhumane industry of child sex trafficking.
In this guide, I hope to galvanize the reader’s inner strength. I believe wholeheartedly that healing isn’t a straight trajectory, and that being a warrior isn’t like being in a race for perfection. This guide helps readers to understand that life is fluid, and so is healing. Therefore, being a warrior means you are maneuvering through the maze of life and allowing yourself to work towards present moment happiness.
This book speaks to everyone: survivors, therapists, teachers, doctors, law enforcement professionals, social workers, and more. My goal is for this guide to help readers realize we are all warriors and we can come together to help stop familial child sex trafficking.
Sunbeams Through Blankets is now available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
