After being a victim of the cycle and finding deliverance, I was inspired to write "The Lineage: Breaking The Cycle" to help others. The story focuses on how the cycle of generational abuse began with my parents, Margaret and Reggie. Feel Margaret's moments of hopelessness and hope as you read her journey. Margaret had her life written for her before she had a chance to choose. She was raped by her stepfather and became pregnant with a child that caused her nothing but sorrow. Growing up, she was brainwashed to believe that she was nothing and that her life had no value. Margaret's story highlights the tragic consequences when family members do not receive the help they need to heal from emotional and physical scars.
