 One Brave Woman

by Author Carole Brown

What would you do—how far would you go—to protect your children? To protect the abused?

That's a strange question, you say? We'd do anything—everything—to protect them.

But let's take that thought to a different, deeper level.

·  What if your child child had a devastating illness and all methods of treatment had been exhausted in your country? What if there was a verified, proven treatment that your country would not use (for whatever reason) but was available in this other country? Would you sell everything you own to gain that treatment for your child?

·  What if you visit a friend and while there, you see a child you suspect is being abused. How far would YOU go to protect that child? Look the other way—it's not your business, and after all, it's just a couple unusual bruises and some noises coming from the other house. Call the authorities?

·  What if your sister, your mother, your friends are being abused, and you know it, or even have a thought that it might be so? What would you do to stop it? Encourage them to contact the authorities, abuse centers?

·  What if your child was literally ripped from your arms...

In today's world abuse is everywhere! If you don't believe that, listen to the news, and you'll hear more than you want about the subject.

·  Most days, domestic violence hotlines across the country receive approximately 20,800 calls

·  Violence is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior which is a much larger pattern of dominance and control

·  Approximately, 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys are victims of sexual abuse

And there are tons more statistics!

So back to our question: what would you do to protect your children, your friends, your family?

In my debut novel, The Redemption of Caralynne Hayman, I deal with this very difficult and touchy subject. Creating an abusive cult who hid their hideous abuse behind modern habits and today's conventionalities, I raise up one woman who takes on an abusive cult to protect her daughters and her friends.

Did it take a Joan of Arc personality?

Maybe a little, but mostly it took a woman who was afraid, but determined. A woman who had to make hard decisions. Sometimes they were the wrong ones. Somethings, right. A woman who put the lives of others ahead of herself. A woman—a mother—who defied evil and won!

Mothers, Grandmothers, Sisters, Women everywhere, are you brave enough to read this fictional story that will open your eyes to ONE real and serious world issue?  Men, do you want to get an in-depth perspective of abuse and the courage it takes to stand against it?
