Innocence Stolen: When Abuse Steals Who You Could Have Been - Paperback

by Aggie DeJesus (Author)

When Abuse Steals Who You Could Have Been

Behind the innocence of childhood, some stories carry wounds no one sees.

Aggie DeJesus knows this journey firsthand. A survivor of incest and abuse, she understands the lasting impact trauma can have on a person's identity, relationships, and sense of worth. Through courage, faith, and years of healing, Aggie began the difficult journey of reclaiming the parts of herself that had been stolen.

Drawing from her lived experience and academic research, including her master's thesis on abuse and trauma, Aggie offers insight, compassion, and hope to those walking a similar path.

Together with her husband, Juan DeJesus, Aggie co-founded Gentle Ministries International, a ministry dedicated to helping men and women recover from abuse, incest, and trauma. Through their work, they encourage survivors to pursue healing and restoration while learning to extend compassion to others who carry similar wounds.
