NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A young woman is led down an introspective path after she unveils her true identity and hidden secrets from her past with the potential to transform her life forever in J. J. Alexander's new novel "When Identity Begins to Speak: A Young Woman's Search for Identity" (published by Archway Publishing).
A redemptive story about an orphaned girl, Hannah is adopted and later experiences sexual abuse and physical violence from her adopted father. As Hannah becomes older she is aware that her identity becomes complicated and hurtful. She is confronted by other children's hateful rejection based on the color of her skin—the same behaviors play into her adult life when she meets her real family, who for years held onto secrets and lies about her biological mother, Molly.
"The book addresses through the life of Hannah her encounter with the intersectional problems associated with her trying to find her identity: sexual abuse, women rights, civil rights, rejection by biological family, and religious heritage," says Alexander. "Women who have no voice can read this book about Hannah's life and become encouraged to find strength and resilience to overcome any situation they find themselves in. The reading of this book can empower them to overcome the problematic issues they face."
