After enduring physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of her father, a young girl engages in a life-long journey to understand and apply high spiritual principles to overcome her damage, reclaim her power, and teach others to rise above their abuse.

This book is an intimate story of betrayal of an innocent child’s love and trust from the one person who was supposed to protect her the most: her father. Keeping his secret deeply buried within every cell of her being led to chronic pain and diseases throughout her body. One resulted in a total hysterectomy. “In order to be free from the physical pain caused by the atrocities of my father’s ignorance,” she honestly states, “Ripping out all my female organs sounded good to me; all they brought me anyway was pain.”

In her compelling teaching memoir, From Abuse to Enlightenment, the author narrates with both bravery and openness how she applied spiritual wisdom to navigate and heal from the profound impacts of molestation and physical abuse experienced during her early years.

They included post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, and depression attributed to her father's intense unrelenting rage and significant boundary violations.

She also had to overcome low self-esteem, anger issues, addictions to cover up her emotional pain, and fluctuating cycles of anorexia and bulimia due to her father’s constant belittling and disapproval.

The resilience of the human Spirit using the power of the mind is at the core of this book. By increasing our consciousness, we can change the very fabric of our lives. As she explains, “Most important, when you elevate your consciousness to higher levels of awareness, your outward life will shift to match it.”

Through meditation, she calmed her mind and discovered how her limiting thoughts and false belief systems kept her chained to her past. She learned how her negative thoughts, words, and actions created her reality. By replacing them with positive ones, she transformed her life.

Another critical teaching she learned along her spiritual journey is the power of forgiveness. Her compelling chapter on Forgiveness and Compassion describes how after seeing her father as an innocent little boy having to endure his own nightmares during the war, compassion arose in her heart and healed her soul.

In her inspiring chapter on The Impermanent Nature of All Phenomena, she teaches that everything changes, that winter always turns back to spring. Through persistent application of spiritual teachings, everything that was taken away from her during her abusive childhood and early adult life was restored.
