by Christopher Hicks (Author)
Christopher takes you on his personal journey from birth to adulthood--a journey that entails being given up for adoption at birth and a tumultuous childhood that included psychological, sexual, and verbal abuse. After eight traumatic years living with his first adoptive parents, Christopher was removed from the home and lived in two other homes until the age of eighteen years old. Christopher was once again neglected by the state and left to repair the damages from his broken life. Christopher eventually found his birth family. Christopher accredits his survival to his faith in God, his family, and many years of therapy. Christopher beats the odds and transitions from tragedy to triumph. Christopher's story will hopefully bring empowerment and develop a powerful sense of self to anyone who reads this book.
