About this ebook
By sharing her personal journey through the pain she has suffered at the hands of her perpetrators, author Erin Merryn proves that one person can make a difference in the lives of others. Simply by speaking out and bringing the subject of child sexual abuse to the forefront, she has created a wave of change—change not only in legislature, but also in the hearts of those around her and the world.
In this thought-provoking book, readers will discover an in-depth, personal account of Erin's story and how—through using positive outlets—she was able to rebuild her life and heal from a childhood filled with sexual abuse. Part memoir, part resource guide, Erin shares with readers key organizations that provide essential support for victims and caregivers, warning signs that a child who is being abused might display, and why Erin's Law is so essential.

This woman's persistence in the face of the challenges she has faced in life is seriously inspirational. She's an incredible role model on so many levels. I had heard of her advocacy for bringing in to law age appropriate sexual abuse education, but I did not know she'd suffered from a learning disability, and seriously debilitating epilepsy. It is one of those stories where you really feel that a person has been put on this planet for a clear reason, and her influence will be far reaching.

When starting this book I never thought Erin would be sharing this horrific details of her rape at 6 years old! Six years old really you got to be kidding me. This should never happen to another child and now because of Erin's Law we can start educating our children on sexual abuse and give our children a VOICE!! THANK YOU ERIN
