Reviving Hope

Reviving Hope exposes childhood sexual abuse through the eyes of a five-year-old girl. Innocent, afraid, and unable to advocate for herself, Hope struggles with guilt and the weight of this evil. Follow her journey from innocence through self-loathing to Hope's final acceptance of herself as a worthwhile person. Told with honesty and compassion after extensive interviews with Hope, this candid disclosure of her abuse is offered to increase awareness of this crime against children. Hope's dream is that her story will inspire others to join the effort to end such abuse. Equally important, she wants to encourage those who have been or are being abused to reach out toward healing and restoration. The book lists resources for abuse victims and survivors, as well as professionals and others with whom they may interact. With a foreword by a trauma-informed counselor, this small book has the power to change lives.
