The Warrior Within

A profound memoir of Veronica Brooks at a young age, that young girls and women had experienced a traumatic ordeal and felt as if life had stopped, with no hope of recovery. Veronica Brooks was witness to a disturbing event that altered the course of her life. She had done everything she could to forget it, but she could vividly recall every heinous detail. She was trapped in a nightmare and then forced to live with the lingering trauma, pain, and guilt for the rest of her life. She had always wanted to tell someone, but she was afraid of what others would think of her. Will they believe me? She would ask herself over and over. Will they hold it against me? Will they believe I earned it? But the only thing more agonizing than reliving her misery is keeping it hidden. Her intention was not vengeful or malicious in the eyes of her family. She simply wishes to reclaim her emotional freedom and peace of mind. She truly believes that once she has revealed the truth, she will be at peace. She also knew that telling her story would inspire others to tell their own. This book is for people who have faced adversity and suffered in silence. She understands the pain of those beautiful souls who have wanted to end their lives because the pain was too much to bear. Her hope is that this book will inspire you to speak and live your truth, no matter how painful it is for others. She had never told her story... Until now.
