Victims and Survivors Melisa Mel

Volunteering in her metro area provided Melisa Mel many opportunities to meet interesting people with stories to tell. She found that the characters leaned on others for assistance and safety while trying to regain some sort of balance in their lives. These characters have felt violated, cheated, confused, scared, insecure, ashamed, guilty, impotent and many times numb with shock. Melisa Mel has recorded their stories here. As the characters lives have calmed and their minds have sought peace, they have transitioned and adapted to their situations. Some characters grew stronger, others needed more time for a sense of normalcy to return. Melisa Mel dedicates this book to those who strive to make every day just a bit safer and those who are struggling in their transition from the victim stage to survivor mode. Melisa Mel understands that transition well . . .
