Dancing with the Devil
BREAKING CHAINS OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE
I naively believed that I’d diligently faced my demons and healed my past…I had a rude awakening when, after receiving the Australian Ministerial Intervention decision on my immigration matter, I was forced to return to England for a second time without my family and children.
My entire life of struggle and injustice was dredged back up like projectile vomiting, bringing with it even more intense feelings of rage, confusion, and resentment for the challenging life I’d been granted, and which I seemed unable to change, no matter what I did or did not do. I felt more alone than ever.
Dancing with the Devil is a heart-warming novel inspired by real-life events. A story about the raw reality of childhood sexual abuse and the deep unseen scars impacting two little girls' into adulthood. A story of courage and hope. A story about the painful journey it takes to recover and heal, and where learned childhood beliefs and ingrained negative self-talk, need to be changed, in order to break cycles of abuse within families.
This is a second edition, focusing on self-worth and forgiveness.
I believe that if we, as a society, can break generational chains of toxicity and dysfunction within family dynamics, this in turn, could help put an end to paedophile rings, ritual abuse, and child-sex trafficking.
Won Heart
DIARY OF A TWIN
​Twin girls feed off each other and against one another in a brain warfare of light and dark rudimentary of parental obligations not withstanding same equation. While one little girl remains most days in a dissociative state her twin carries her fragile heart through to adulthood to stand unconditionally in WON Heart to heal ancestral bondages of abuse to break generational chains held to a family's bloodline of witches to reach the unreachable star.
Becoming the epitome of ridicule and malignant persecution, the author brings to justice her private life to public exposure delivering in essence a diary of a twin to bring completion to the self-publication Dancing with the Devil in highlighting how each adapted accordingly to environmental factors, human connections and survival under the same family upbringing holding different strategies to cope with ongoing abuses in personal and united journeys.
The author brings to life also the many injustices after corruption crippled a family's basic human rights to fail to uphold to its people moral and legal obligations across commonwealth borders, but how sisters refuse to fall because it is only in holding on that limitations surpass barriers.
