Author S.O. Strenuo worked as a nurse in the hospital setting for twenty-seven years and is currently a substitute school nurse. She has seen many patients who have felt lost and alone because of abuse, hurting people who don’t know where to turn. The author pursued a nursing career because she wanted to make a difference in someone’s life.
S.O. Strenuo shares, “To many, this will be just a story, one I hope moves you to think, to change, to care, and to make a difference. You see, this is the story of an actual family. It is the true story of what happens when secrets are kept and no one noticed and no one cared.”
She continues, “Domestic abuse spanning three generations left scars that the eye cannot see. Child sexual abuse spanning three generations left emotional scars—scars that no one truly understood. This is the story of how that abuse affected someone I care about. She is called Eve in the book. She was my hero, my protector, and she was abused beyond belief. She first witnessed domestic violence as a toddler. She first was sexually abused at the tender age of eight, but the abuse didn’t stop there. Family members knew about the abuse, but no one did anything. Was it because they didn’t believe a child? Was it because it was considered normal behavior? Unfortunately, we will never know. What we do know is that the truth must be told to stop the abuse cycle. The truth must be told to heal.”
Published by Page Publishing, S.O. Strenuo’s meaningful work urges those who know someone who has been a victim of abuse to talk to someone and seek help. She hopes this book will make a difference in the lives of readers, and because of that, the profits from this book will be donated to the Stop the Silence organization.
