a memoir by
Sue Haines

Within the contents of the following pages you will read my story. I wrote them for you, the reader. While I am not a writer by profession, it was important for me to tell you my story without the guidance of a ghost writer. My style may not be traditional, but it is honest and true. I feel deep in my heart that the life I have lived and the choices I have made were meant to be shared. Please understand that many parts are extremely intimate details

that some may say leave me vulnerable, however, I am not afraid.

I know this memoir was my assignment, as I was to tell you my story in my own words. My prayer is that my journey somehow gives you not only the hope for a better future, but the permission and ability to forgive everything that has been done to you whether through intention or by accident. Forgiveness is critical.
