Why, when we live in a sexually obsessed culture, do we hide our sexual brokenness? So many children are emotionally abandoned after abuse and left to navigate their way alone through life, struggling to find sexual wholeness. It takes a great deal of courage to confront an abuser. The shame, along with the lie that we are not good enough, lingers long after the abuse. I believe it is what fuels the secrets. If victims were able to tell their stories safely and freely, I believe they would be able to heal far more easily from childhood abuse. "What a great example of 'You have to live it if you're going to give it' Caren has helped all of us live it better" Stephen Arterburn, Founder of New Life Ministries "I Lost My Marbles is an authentic, vulnerable look at a journey no one ever signs up to take. Written with courage and honesty, Caren Dillman's story reveals the abuse that many suffer at the hand of a trusted loved one. Her book is also a humorous and candid love story, and a narrative of faith that is developed in the midst of the storm. The powerful conclusion will take your breath away" Gayle M. Samples, PhD Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist | Executive Director at Emmaus Road Counseling "A powerful read, presented with honesty and hope. Caren Dillman's unflinching narrative of trauma strikes deep in the heart. We feel her pain, her shame, and her confusion. We cheer her victories. Most of all, we come away with a profound appreciation for the author's story and her willingness to bring it into the light" Tammy Fletcher, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist www.fletchertherapy.com
