Book Description
The statistics of childhood sexual abuse are staggering with 1 out of 4 girls and 1 in 7 boys being assaulted by someone they know. These young victims grow into adults with no coping skills and a shattered perception of who they are, and what the world means. It's no wonder the common story most victims share is a life of defeat! A life addicted to substance, and a swinging door of bad relationships. The good news? There is a way out! We do have the power to move out of the pain and stop the cycle of abuse in our generation and for generations to come! We all have an enemy and a liar in our life and that is the father of all lies, Satan. But we also have a Father in Heaven reaching out His hand to offer us a new way. A way out of the pain, lies and bitterness and into a beautiful new existence filled with freedom, love and joy! Catherine's spent the last 23 years undoing the damage inflicted on her life. She shares with the reader the raw and horrific pain as well as the beautiful journey that has brought her to a place of peace. Peace with herself and her abusers, but mostly peace with God! This book will inspire you and motivate you, but most of all show you that there is an answer to our pain and struggle. This book will minister to your bondage by showing you that medicating with drugs, alcohol, sex, food, exercise, work, etc. is not the answer either. Oh sure it works, until it doesn't, and then people are left with the original pain compiled by more wreckage created by their choices. Catherine shares with the reader the God who met her right where she was - deep in the pit! He reached down and said, "Grab on little one and I will pull you out. Just trust me and I will make all things new." Revelation 21:5 "Behold I make everything new." Catherine's story will tell of an innocence lost, a child betrayed by her very own blood, and a young adult who was doing exactly what one would expect from a victim of violent crimes. You will hear of years of drug abuse, sexual sickness, abuse by her put onto the ones she loved the most, and finally jails and institutions. But then, you will read of an awakening, a light, a change that is a slow regeneration and a compelling truth. A new life coming from the ashes and exploding into the atmosphere, a life that will turn heads, bring restoration and healing to many, and ultimately a woman who has purpose. More than anything else, you will hear of a God who will use the pain and suffering to bring healing by using the very thing the enemy wanted to destroy us with to bring hope to so many. Are you ready to lay down the weapons, to turn vengeance over to a very just God, to stop hiding from the pain in a person, place, or thing? Are you ready to start a journey of discovering, you? Then join Catherine on her own journey of discovery laid out in these pages. This book is different than most books as each chapter tells a new story of tragedy and triumph, this story is told in pieces, which ultimately make up, all the Pieces of Me!

Book Description
They could've been perfect. In another time. Another world. Where his wasn't falling apart. And hers wasn't already in pieces. - High school senior Holden Eastwood only has one fear in life: growing up. He spends his days unmotivated, moving from one game to the next, searching for his next challenge. He never expected that challenge to come in the form of a girl... A girl with zero fashion sense, a filthy mouth, and a bullsh*t attitude. Unlike Holden, Jameson Taylor had no choice but to grow up. Neglected, isolated, and forced to raise herself, Jameson only has one goal in life: graduate and move on. The last thing she needs is some guy she can't stand suddenly declaring her as his new hobby. Their lives couldn't be more opposite. Their pasts a complete paradox. But in each other, they find the unexpected... They find solace. Fragments of forever... A forever that might tear them to pieces.

Book Description
“A powerful story of family and connection that is just as fun as it is heartbreaking. I didn’t want the story to end.” — Jill Santopolo, New York Times bestselling author of The Light We Lost and Everything After Following her acclaimed debut novel, You and Me and Us, Alison Hammer offers a deeply moving story of family and identity. When a DNA test reveals a long-buried secret, a woman must look to the past to understand her mother and herself. When Paige Meyer gets an email from a DNA testing website announcing that her father is a man she never met, she is convinced there must be a mistake. But as she digs deeper into her mother’s past and her own feelings of being the odd child out growing up, Paige begins to question everything she thought she knew. Could this be why Paige never felt like she fit in her family, and why her mother always seemed to keep her at an arm’s length? And what does it mean for Paige’s memories of her father, a man she idolized and whose death she is still grieving? Back in 1975, Betsy Kaplan, Paige’s mom, is a straightlaced sophomore at the University of Kansas. When her sweet but boring boyfriend disappoints her, Betsy decides she wants more out of life, and is tired of playing it safe. Enter Andy Abrams, the golden boy on campus with a potentially devastating secret. After their night together has unexpected consequences, Betsy is determined to bury the truth and rebuild a stable life for her unborn child, whatever the cost. When Paige can’t get answers from her mother, she goes looking for the only other person who was there that night. The more she learns about what happened, the more she sees her unflappable, distant mother as a real person faced with an impossible choice. But will it be enough to mend their broken relationship? Told in dual timelines, Little Pieces of Me examines identity and how the way we define ourselves changes (or not) through our life experiences.

Five years. That’s how long I’ve been gone. Since I left my best friend—the girl I loved—behind. Five seconds. That’s how long it takes to realize I am completely, utterly, screwed. Because now that I’m back, my childhood crush has turned into so much more. Rylee has changed. We both have. And now I’m drawn to her in a completely different way. To her smile. Her touch. To reliving old memories and making new ones. To the happiness she’s always given me that I haven’t felt since I left. But her friends are hell-bent on keeping us apart. My dad is one drink away from destroying both of our lives, and maybe I am, too. It’s only a matter of time before I have to leave again, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. I never get a choice. The one choice I can make? Stay away from Rylee. Because if I don’t, I’ll break her heart—and mine—all over again. Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains references to drinking, addiction, and just the right amount of angst. You’ll want to save this tortured hero, while at the same time, not want to change a single thing about him!
