As a child and teenager author Dolores Rose suffered years of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse at the hands of the family members who were supposed to protect her. After enduring the shame and horror inflicted on her by her perpetrators-and plunging into drugs and alcohol in an attempt to mitigate the pain-Dolores found freedom and sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous.
Now, after remaining drug and alcohol free for three decades, Dolores revisits her painful history and her victorious journey from rock bottom to clean living in order to inspire others who may be caught in the cycles of molestation, depression, and substance abuse she once was.
With honesty and compassion, Dolores takes readers back to her childhood, introducing them to the people who made her existence a living hell. And with great moral power, Dolores confronts these people-inspiring others to do the hard work necessary to forgive, heal, and move on.
Brutally honest and bracingly real, I Have a Voice will inspire anyone who is dealing with their challenges-and provide the simple truth that, no matter how bleak, the future can change if you're willing to let go of the past.
