Memories and a Cedar Chest (Paperback)

Paula Baker takes Bree's journey to another level in this second book. In 'She Didn't Tell', BreeAnna Barton suffered the atrocities of both physical and sexual abuse throughout her first eighteen years of life. Memories And a Cedar Chest will keep you enthralled and turning pages as Bree's story unfolds; the violence appears to be never-ending. As a young adult she believed she had left the ugly past behind; a belief that is quickly shattered by someone she trusts and allows herself fall in love with. Small rays of sunshine and hope appear from time to time, but the raging black storms and the memories continue to haunt her. At her core is a sense of strength and a powerful will to survive, but how far can these attributes carry her? She begins to think it's best to give in and lead the passive life her aggressors have suggested; but sheer determination forces her to reconsider. Will the consequences be worth the battle? If she wins the battle, will the demons of the past ever truly be gone? This is a story of life; victims and survivors, winners and losers, those loved and unloved. Only Bree can reveal the category that best describes her sordid life and her struggle to overcome.
