The effects of child abuse are difficult to categorize. So many factors contribute to the effects of child abuse on an individual, based on the specific kind of abuse, longevity, etc. The effects of child abuse on me have been chronic and hard to overcome. In my memoir, Following the Whispers, the reader journeys with me from childhood to present time as I seek to rid myself of the effects of child abuse and create a fulfilling life.

Most everyone on the planet wants inner peace. Finding inner peace, however, can be difficult. Especially when attitudes formed in childhood continue to rule behavior in adulthood.

In her memoir, Following the Whispers, Walker illuminates the path to finding inner peace from a childhood permeated with abuse and sexual molestation.

Following the Whispers is a chronicle of Walker’s journey. It illustrates the consequences of not listening to the inner voice of wisdom and shows how she eventually learned to tune in and trust her inner voice. Beginning to hear her inner voice was a start to finding inner peace.
