As an adult, Janet is forced to address her own alcoholism and seeks professional help to quit drinking. She is shocked to hear her psychiatrist diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety resulting from her childhood abuses. "And Not To Harm You" is a stark account of Janet's struggle to step out of the shadows of her childhood horrors. While this is a story of how determination and courage can challenge the effects of child abuse, it is also a story of how forgiveness can pave a pathway to peace.
