Nous Voice was honored to provide our manuscript polishing service to Ms. Harden and her inspirational book.
Ms. Harden describes how her own spiritual and healing journey began as she guided young people to start their own healing journeys after their childhood traumas. Healing one's self through healing of others.
This book takes you on a journey, a soul journey. First, to understand the dynamics of an unsafe home and how it can affect a child's perception of life through the eyes of Karen's shared experience; and secondly, to understand the effort it takes to move out of the path of being a victim to an empowered path of being your truest self. Santuary trauma, in other words, trauma caused by those closest to us in our home environment—where we are supposed to be safe—often goes undetected. This is a story about how it is possible to embrace our childhood wounds that have shaped us and redefine our story moving into adulthood. And challenges us to end abusive cycles within the generational cycles of our own families. Karen also describes methods to succesfully reach out to those children who are hurting and who need us most when their home environment is in chaos. She challenges us to ask these children, "What happened to you?" instead of the old dialogue of "What is wrong with you?" Karen encourages others to take this journey with her, to seek understanding, and to reflect on your own life's journey toward healing. And ultimately to change the story of your own life.
