Dear Pervert

Book excerpt: In Jalena's riveting memoir, Dear Pervert, she boldly shares her story of enduring the undeniable and unavoidable pain of being victimized by someone she trusted most. She bravely speaks directly to the man who sexually abused her throughout her childhood, spilling all of his dirty little secrets as she recalls the horrific things he did to her and reflects on how she has progressively coped - and also the soul-crushing embarrassing times she just couldn't cope - with the trauma. Jalena also reflects on how she utilized this experience to recover and reclaim herself mentally, emotionally, physically and most of all, spiritually, as she describes the ways this has shaped her into the wife, adoptive mother and healthful lifestyle coach she is today, and how her tumultuous relationship with God ultimately came to grips.More than calling her abuser out on his perverted ways, Jalena speaks to her fellow sisters - women and girls everywhere - because 1 in 3 can relate in some way and need to know they are not alone and their voices do matter! They CAN stop being a victim to their pain and start healing from their trauma. Her vulnerability shines through on each page as her message offers hope to all.
