INJURED AND SCARRED BUT NOT BROKEN – Queen Esther viewed herself as; injured and unclean. In fact, in her eyes, she was damaged goods! She was always comparing herself to others. To her, others looked so holy and so clean. If she could only be a virgin all over again and make the right choices. Not just a virgin in the physical, but in every way. She just felt she was not clean enough to be of any value. Molested as a child, then as an adult tangled up in strongholds of adultery and fornication. Raped at gun point and almost beaten unrecognizable. Also, as a single parent having her children torn away from her by the system. Throughout her whole life being told something was wrong with her brain, and she would not manage things as others because of mental illness. Have you ever heard the phrases “Your test is your testimony!” and “Your mess is your message”? Queen Esther lives her life as an open book. Transparent for the sake of making a difference in someone else’s life. She did not always make the right choices when it came to partners (singled or married, men or women) and activities (whatever they wanted and how). Dealing with the flesh and mental illness and sometimes just giving into the moments. Queen Esther exposes what one may consider “her dirty laundry” to help others clean up theirs. Workbook inspired by her books – Sexually Driven and Sexually Driven II THIS BOOK CONTAINS SOME ADULT MATERIAL

Fortunately, my response has and will Always be, "If I can report the abuse on one, then I have saved a life." Although this book was dedicated to single mothers and women of domestic violence, for I haven't forgotten my male victims. Unfortunately too often you are forgotten by society, and if you voice that you've been abused by your spouse, girlfriend or significant other, then you're seen as the weaker vessel. Well, on my journey to advocate for victims everywhere, I hear you........I hear you loud and clear.........I hear your cry.........I hear your voice.........I am your voice.........

Rehearsing past hurts is no longer the order of the day. I MUST MOVE ON!!! I will be what God has called me to be. Yes, I was Bruised but not Broken.
