AGKIf “New Year, New You” includes reading more books and wearing a tiara to celebrate your reclamation of self, I have the giveaway for you! (United States Only, Please.)
I’m giving away a signed print copy of The First 22 Years Are the Hardest along with a healing-centered gift package.
By the time she’s thirteen, Angela Giles Klocke has already been the victim of sexual assault and child abuse at the hands of different people who are supposed to love her, and she is living in poverty when she meets Dewayne. Desperate for a different life, for love and happiness and safety, she clings to him for her “happily ever after.” Instead, he uses up all her teen years and brings her into her twenties a shell of a woman. But Angela never gives up on her hope for what can be. Trigger Warning for topics of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse.
This is for the ones who survived.
For the ones who are tired of shame.
For the ones who are coming back to themselves — slowly, bravely, honestly.

“Angela shares her story with raw transparency. I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially to those who are currently living with verbal, physical, or sexual abuse. Or to anyone else who is second guessing themselves, believing that this kind of life is normal or what they deserve.” -Amazon Review
