A Crushed Rose


Book Description

A Crushed Rose is a true story. A beautiful child was robbed of her youth. Her voice was muted, spirit crushed, and body violated. Her eyes showed fear, sadness, and depression; people labeled her shy. She whispered her story to a few adults; they smiled and pretended not to understand. Incest is a sexual union between persons who are so closely related that their marriage is illegal or forbidden by custom. An informed community and enlightened culture is obligated to expose crimes against children. As an adult, she engaged in a six-year war to save her daughter from being put to death by the state of Mississippi. That fight gave her strength to battle for her health and peace of mind. She ended her fight with God and turned on the real enemy. She prevailed with a clear message to openly fight all forms of sexual violence against children, including the most horrendous depravity-incest.
