Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Castle Wall was written from the perspective of going from victim to survivor of sexual abuse. Within those pages are people who taught me and took away my dignity and true self. Poems and short writings guide the reader through the trauma and drama of my life, unfolded as a victim, and how I was rescued through therapy to regain my identity as a survivor. My story covers events that happened throughout twenty years of my life, being abused by no less than eleven perpetrators. As an adult, my three children became victims of a neighbor, and I had taken them into a children's therapy group. During that time, I was participating in a mother's support group. The facilitator of the group recognized signs that I was abused and asked if I would see another therapist. I went but didn't recognize that I had been abused by anyone except an uncle. Then, my journey through the abuse led me to know how serious my issues were. I wrote poetry that helped reveal my past.
