Book Cover & Preview Text
It was storming. The lightning lit up the sky. The rumbling of the thunder matched the churning of my insides. We had just come home from another counseling session for Jozie. My six-year-old daughter was not talking much to the counselor. Why wouldn't she tell the counselor what she wanted to hear? Why wouldn't Jozie tell who had molested her?

About the Book
I am like a cockroach.
Like an untouchable,
Smelly, black creature
That crawls through the darkness,
Running for its life.
No one wants to look at me.
No one wants to acknowledge my existence.
If they were to step on me
The smell would be too great.
I cannot be in the same place as ordinary humans,
For it would make them uncomfortable.
They cannot be around what they don’t understand.
My shame is unbearable.
My ex-husband molested my daughter
When she was five years old.
Here is my story.
