Chocolate Days & Shadows is an autobiography, and yet…
Chocolate Days & Shadows is about you. You are the abused child, of any age, any creed, any color. You are the mentally, sexually, physically abused child. You are the battered, bruised, bewildered child. You are a victim.
Chocolate Days & Shadows is by you. Your body crawls into the skin, the very soul of an abused child of an alcoholic parent. Your eyes reflect the pain. Your gut radiates the pain. Your lungs forget to exhale. Your heart writes the story.
Chocolate Days & Shadows is for you. You are a seeker. You cry out for help and the people, places, and resources appear in your life. You climb the soul-searching ladder of the recovery process, one rung, one day at a time. You discover that the essence of healing is love. You walk hand-in-hand with the Spirit. You love yourself.
You are the gentle, loving child of our Creator.
If you are an abused child, empower.
If you know an abused child, help.
