Childhood sexual abuse is a horrific, painful crime that affects millions of children around the world, leaving them to suffer, often silently, from pervasive feelings of shame, self-hatred and worthlessness. A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, incest and rape, author Anne de Nada uses her memoir “Twisted Roots, Standing Tall: My Journey to Heal, Learn, and Rise from the Trauma of Childhood Sexual Abuse” to raise awareness of the long-term psychological effects of severe trauma and encourage others with similar experiences to embark on their own healing journeys.

In “Twisted Roots, Standing Tall,” de Nada unflinchingly recounts her upbringing with a sexually and emotionally abusive father and an emotionally absent mother and the devastating damage inflicted on her sense of self. By 16, she was left orphaned and destitute, rejected by others in her family and reliant on herself for survival. However, as she began building her life and manifesting her desires into reality, she became attuned to a deeper power within herself.

As de Nada tapped into her inner guidance, she became connected with a variety of healers and teachers who helped her mend her body and spirit and put her on a path to total awakening. Through acupuncture, energy healing, primal therapy and a variety of other holistic techniques, she was able to work through repressed trauma and overcome many of her blocks to connect with her higher self.

“Through recounting my story, I hope to show three things: trauma does not have to define you, there is a way back from trauma and trauma can be a teacher,” said de Nada.

Ultimately, in “Twisted Roots, Standing Tall,” de Nada empowers readers who have experienced trauma or sexual trauma to heal, learn and rise. Through relaying her personal journey from self-hatred to freedom, abundance, self-love and transformation, she illustrates how others can break free from the restraints of their trauma and manifest the deepest desires of their heart.

“The writing is warm and intimate, revealing wonderment for nature and instances of steady learning, though the book’s heaviest concentration is on the healing process itself,” wrote Foreword Clarion Reviews. “’Twisted Roots, Standing Tall’ is a touching memoir about growing past traumatic experiences.”
