Healing in the Hurting Places is a personal experience story and outreach for victims of childhood sexual abuse, and those who want to help them. It sensitively focuses on the healing journey—how to recognize symptoms of abuse and offer help. Victims often feel alone, they don’t know where to turn or may believe no one will understand. Karen Riley speaks to that place of pain and takes you on the healing journey that transformed her life.

This author shares her story in a way I can relate to. She was sexually abused as a child. That abuse affected her personality and made her the target of severe bullying. Her ability to trust anyone disappeared until she came to trust the Lord Jesus Christ. So glad Karen is able to help others through her writing!
