In the wake of the #METOO movement, the brave stories of other survivors have shed a light on a quiet beast #CHURCHTOO. For years the church has been a fortress for sexual predators, a place many see as a refuge and haven, has often been turned into a personal marketplace for emotional and sexual abuse by trusted members of clergy. This book is a raw, true account of a young girl who survives growing up in a cultish church, while being repeatedly sexually and mentally abused by her tutor and youth pastor."I grew up with this enforced silence. I adapted to this learned behavior of shame and servitude. I was bred from birth for my sexual abuse, small controlled doses at a time. One close disgusting boundary crossing hug at a time. One deceptively intrusive conversation at a time. I was personally prepared and selected for an "indiscretion" that would take a lifetime of healing. ........ BUT GRACE"
