This is an account of physical, mental and sexual abuse suffered by the author and of her eventual conversion and recovery.
It is billed as ‘a victorious testimony of hope over hopelessness, of forgiveness over bitterness, and of love over hatred’. It is, indeed, hugely encouraging to read of how someone so terribly ill-treated can be set free from the insecurity, bitterness and depression that result from such abuse. The emphasis on the need to forgive those who treat us cruelly is biblical and very helpful. Perhaps someone who has suffered similar abuse will be helped by Sheree’s story.
