Desperate to escape from her stepfather, 14-year-old Ashley Asher finally finds the courage to confront her mother with the painful details of six years of emotional, physical and sexual abuse. To her horror, Ashley’s mother turns her back on her. Only a teacher at her school offers any support. A touching story focused on the themes of abuse, social injustice, racism, peer pressure, bullying, parental responsibility, fear, forgiveness, love, acceptance, and hope which will inspire the millions of abuse vicitims in America, young and old alike. Suitable for classroom study. No graphic content.

• “Courage in Patience is truly a great read and it provides a unique point of view and perspective of sexual abuse. It keeps the reader intrigued and wanting to read more. The title of the book could not be more appropriate as patience and courage are a huge part of recovery” —Alexis Moore, President, Survivors In Action
