It is a personal, detailed recollection of a woman's growth and reckoning as a child, growing up in a dysfunctional blended family. A child that was sworn to secrecy regarding the inappropriate behavior she endured, all in the name of protecting the family image of perfection. Now an adult with her own husband and children, JoMarie lifts the veil of silence that has long kept her hiding in plain sight behind the damage of childhood sexual abuse, at the hands of someone she loved and trusted to be her protection. Her detailed journey combined with gems of wisdom and lessons learned along the way are enlightening, defying expectation and inviting readers to reconsider the secrets kept within the walls of our homes. Secrets that are permitted to continue, even when inappropriate behavior occurs. \nIn this memoir, Jomarie invites her readers to see firsthand, how this experience single handedly continues to shape who she has become and impacts every area of her life years after the fact.
