About the event
Hidden Hurts Revealed: Biography of a Woman by A. Jean White Jennings argues for victims of abuse and incest to come forward and unburden their secret pasts for a more fulfilling life.
Far too often, incest and rape victims keep silent about the abuse in their life, says Jennings, but in her memoir, she argues against secrecy and against letting bygones be bygones. Instead, she urges victims to examine and cast off the cancerous memories of the past.
Jennings reveals her own years of terrifying abuse and rape. But instead of giving in and giving up on life, she became determined to find a way out of her nightmare. She shows how she becomes a loving partner and parent, and how turning to God helps her face her demons and began to live life on her own terms. “No one has to remain a victim,” asserts the author. Jennings shows how being abused does not preclude the ability to have a relationship that is based on love and respect. Aimed at victims of abuse, Hidden Hurts Revealed intends to inspire, heal and give new hope for the future.
Laced with humor, heartache, and the murkier sides of keeping family secrets, Hidden Hurts Revealed: Biography of A Woman by A. Jean White-Jennings is an explosive portrait of how children of rape and incest can survive what haunts them. Boldly transparent, this candid memoir reads like a convincing soap opera, though the levels of depravity and indifference towards children are utterly shocking. With chapter titles like “Inside I Cried: Enough Is Enough,” “The Son That Wasn’t Mine,” and “Responding to a Sister’s Plea for Help,” the author shares what it is like to move past childhood incidences of incest and rape in order to become a good parent and a loving partner. As she recounts her harrowing journey and how it is she was able to ultimately face her demons so that she might begin to live life on her own terms, her message is not at all about letting bygones be bygones, but to examine, biopsy, and cast off the cancerous memories of one’s past.
