Stripping of Sheets

Shaterra Jordan's childhood seemed charmed on the outside. She attended church every Sunday with her caring grandparents who doted on her with gifts and love. This sparkling clean veneer hid a horrifying truth-one that would burden her soul and weigh heavily on her heart. Stripping Sheets is an intimate memoir of Shaterra's heartbreaking experience with a childhood shattered by sexual molestation, leading to teenage pregnancy, prostitution, and addiction. Her broken sense of self-worth fed her feelings of intense depression and fueled her promiscuity-it was easy with a husband ready and willing to share alcohol and women. She grappled with her role as a young wife and mother, unsure of how to fulfill those duties with open wounds inside her heart and no healing in sight. Facing a future of more heartache and emptiness, she found herself questioning her life's choices and going back to her roots before everything fell apart. She learned to love herself, mistakes and all, by living for God and His grace. She learned how to overcome the shame and guilt she felt, and now she writes to help others do the same. Along with her powerful story, she includes pearls of wisdom to help other victims turn into victors and reclaim their power.
