Thanks for stopping by my page. I must warn that that my first two books, Not Easily Washed Away and Not Easily Washed Away 2 are not for everyone but If you've bought the book, I'm sure you will enjoy it. Well, my biography is in the books but if you must know more I am currently writing another book that is a continuation of my life. Since the end of the book my life has taken some huge twists and turns and all of them are new experiences for me. With growth and experiences comes insight, and with insight, comes more writing.

Let me know what you think of the book and anything else you would like to discuss. Please let me know what country you're writing me from. I'm now a Graduate Forensic Psychology student and is pushing to become a Counseling Psychologist a couple years from now. Not Easily Washed Away 2 is a continuation of my life throughout my undergraduate studies. T.O.G.G.L.E (The Other Girls Get Lucifer Everyday) is my third book which has been released on Nov 27th, 2012. It’s everything I know about my world and more.

My pen name is Anon Beauty but if you would like to know who I am, visit the T.O.G.G.L.E page on Facebook) I understand that people are going to attack this book and say that my story is not true, it contain anti-Islamic sentiments, and these are the reasons why I choose to remain anonymous before but NOT ANYMORE. The attacks I have endured quietly since the first book, but I am not afraid of the ramifications that might come with writing these books. These stories are accurate and were not written to put down my religion or culture. I am still a Muslim and my faith is still intact and would not sit and write lies of this nature because it against my beliefs.

From the book: Why I chose to share my story: As an adult who was sexually abused as a child, I decided I needed to stop focusing on myself so much and look at how I could help other people who have gone through--or are still suffering from--similar abuse. I wrote this book in order to do just that. When I met my fiancé, he thought the only way for me to heal from the abuse was to confront it fully. It worked. I became empowered, and my mind started to converge on the idea that I could have complete happiness and be accepted, even when people knew about my past. The story of my healing will show that there can be an end to the abuse and its physical, emotional, and psychological aftereffects. Despite the fact that I knew my story would be difficult to write, I still wanted to share it so others could understand the manipulation that goes along with child sexual abuse. My goal was to show that such abuse affects a victim so traumatically that the perpetrator's manipulation can continue even after she reaches adulthood. One of the harder parts of confronting the abuse is the self-blame. Even though I thought I had let go of the abuse that happened years before, I still blamed myself and lived in shame and sadness for a long time afterward. I realize that people from my traditional Muslim culture will find it hard to accept this book. Nevertheless, I wanted to show how my abuser used elements of that culture to perpetuate the abuse against me. My mother and others respected him as a hard-working Muslim man, one whose statements, he convinced me, would be believed in preference to those of a powerless young girl. It seemed like writing the story about what went through my mind as a child was the best way to convey how his manipulation worked. I want people to understand that there is life after abuse and that victims should not let it ruin their whole lives. There is happiness after abuse. It is not easy, and by no means is anyone ever "cured" from child abuse, but there can be a good life lived after.
