Author Valentina Villalobos's new book "Bruised, but Not Broken" is a poignant memoir of a childhood marred by sexual abuse by a member of her Mexican-American family
Recent release "Bruised, but Not Broken" from Page Publishing author Valentina Villalobos is a searing reflection on her formative years in California as the only daughter of a Mexican immigrant family, and the isolation she felt as the victim of long-term sexual abuse at the hands of a predatory uncle and strict yet preoccupied parents who failed to understand and protect her. It is also an inspiring true story of survival as she rises to overcome the trauma of her past and achieves professional success and personal happiness in her own loving family.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Valentina Villalobos, a first generation Mexican-American and award-winning California-based landscape designer who has been featured along with her husband and partner on CNN and the Steve Harvey show as well as in print media including the New York Times, has completed her new book "Bruised, but Not Broken": a candid autobiography sharing the childhood abuse she suffered at the hands of a trusted family member.
"Bruised, but Not Broken" is the true story of a girl who struggled with abuse, the agonies of growing up, and the clash of two cultures. Sadly, her experiences are not unique. Her ordeal is being repeated today by thousands of little girls who wonder if they matter or have any worth in this world.
The sexual abuse of children occurs in all neighborhoods and countries, wrecking lives and destroying families. Abuse flourishes in the dark, hidden by secrets, and protected by denials. The willingness to openly confront this heinous crime, even though it is disturbing, is essential to stop the victimization of those least able to defend themselves.
Valentina was brave, and the path and decisions she took will astonish you.
Published by Page Publishing, Valentina Villalobos's engrossing book is a courageous memoir that gives voice to the most vulnerable and encourages lifesaving dialogues to prevent the evil of child sexual abuse from claiming more defenseless victims.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase "Bruised, but Not Broken" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
