Survival of the Inner Man - Paperback

Queen grew up the middle child of five and loved to sing in the local talent shows. However, her childhood was anything but majestic. Starting at the age of five, she experienced sexual and physical abuse by both family and strangers. Embarrassment, shame, fear, and trauma kept Queen Hatchett hidden away in a dark chamber as she suffered tacitly from effects of her abuse. She decided to face the issue and seek for answers and healing after many years of harboring the pain and distress. In Survival of the Inner Man the author shares more than a true sequence of painful events, but her journey from victim to survivor -from the inside out. The results will become apparent as you read the compelling and dramatic events and how she triumphed. Poetry and humor are woven into this gripping first-hand account of childhood abuse for emotional and mental pause. Queen Hatchett's advice to other victims and to those who are suffering in silence is to bring the issue to the surface, seek help, and realize that you are not alone.
