GREAT READ!

After reading this book all I could say was WOW. What an outstanding book and narration. I could feel the emotions poured into each chapter. Being the other child or not this is definitely a great read. Family can and will abuse you sexually, financially, emotionally and so on. You may not see it right away because we love our family deeply and make excuses for them. Enough is enough it’s okay to make it about you. It’s time to make it about you. Courageous Fire you did an amazing job. Sincerely Cortney Ewing

I didn’t know what to think before reading…

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I personally have never experienced sexual molestation or sexual abuse. All of my trauma comes from betrayal of people that I love most, disappointments but one thing I can say is what I just listened to you don’t have to be in any of those categories to really understand, and feel every single word and you don’t have to be in this particular situation to have this help you listening to this sample has helped me in more ways than I thought it would this book applies to people with general hurt from their parents from their siblings just pure pain you can literally hear it in her voice. The thought of battling or even opening up and talking about it or letting it just dissolve. I’m definitely going to finish this entire book because the sample has me on edge encourage you all to do the same, And no, I will say it again you do not have to be a victim of sexual abuse to enjoy this book. This book has helped me already and I have only read the sample. I cannot wait to finish the Book in its entirety.
