Book Description
The impact of childhood sexual abuse is something few can understand unless they've been there. It leaves a dark stain within the child's soul, a tangled mass of negative self-beliefs and emotions that can darken a child's happiness throughout their life. This dark place is where Jessica Ways found herself. She had managed to survive a childhood of sexual abuse by a psychopathic half-brother, her cries for help ignored by those who should have come to her aid. At the age of sixteen, she gave birth to her son—himself a progeny of rape by yet another extended family member. Kicked out of her home by her parents, dismissed as a troubled child by authorities, Jessica found herself staring into the eyes of her three-day-old son, her own happiness lost in self worthlessness and a complete distrust of others. In a single moment, the most important thought of her life bubbled up through the thick, black morass of her emotions... "He's never seen me smile..." Tears streamed down her cheeks as she woke to the idea that she had been denying her own child the very thing that she craved the most. She swore to him that he would never know anything but love from her. That she would never allow him to feel abandoned, ignored, or abused. It was the beginning of a long journey, one with which she struggled for the first years of his life. Out of desperation, she decided to write a letter to herself. A touching letter in which she asked to find herself, to reach out and end the darkness. She finished and sighed, tears of frustration running down her cheeks. She didn't know what to expect, but it certainly wasn't to look down and see her own hand continuing to write—letters turning into words, words turning into sentences—and her with no idea of what was coming next. The ensuing conversation—a conversation that continues to this day—offered her deep insights into herself, the human spirit, and even consciousness itself. Her emotional recovery began in earnest, though it took years for her to be willing to see the light within. Today, she is a happy mother of four children and wife to an adoring husband of twenty years. She decided to share these early writings in hopes that they might help others who find themselves lost in that darkness.

Book Description
Jessica had always been haunted by the fear that the unthinkable had happened when she had been “made-up.” For as far back as she could remember, she had no sense of a Self. Her mother thought of her as the “perfect infant” because “she never wanted anything and she never needed anything.” As a child, just thinking of saying “I need” or “I want” left her feeling like an empty shell and that her mind was about to spin out of control. Terrified of who––or what––she was, she lived in constant dread over being found guilty of impersonating a human being. Jeffrey Von Glahn, Ph.D., an experienced therapist with an unshakable belief in the healing powers of the human spirit, and Jessica blaze a trail into this unexplored territory. As if she has, in fact, become an infant again, Jessica remembers in extraordinary detail events from the earliest days of her life––events that threatened to twist her embryonic humanness from its natural course of development. Her recollections are like listening to an infant who could talk describe every psychologically dramatic moment of its life as it was happening. When Dr. Von Glahn met Jessica, she was 23. Everyone regarded her as a responsible, caring person – except that she never drove and she stayed at her mother’s when her husband worked nights. For many months, Jessica’s therapy was stuck in an impasse. Dr. Von Glahn had absolutely no idea that she was so terrified over simply talking about herself. In hopes of breakthrough, she boldly asked for four hours of therapy a day, for three days a week, for six weeks. The mystery that was Jessica cracked open in dramatic fashion, and in a way that Dr. Von Glahn could never have imagined. Then she asked for four days a week – and for however long it took. In the following months, her electrifying journey into her mystifying past brought her ever closer to a final confrontation with the events that had threatened to forever strip her of her basic humanness.

Book Description
Jessica F. Woods, attorney of record, experiences the romantic and professional vicissitudes, the ups and downs of life in Columbus, Ohio, where she is immersed in the beginning practice of law for a prestigious firm breaking into the central Ohio market. Young, single, and beautiful, Jessica wrestles with navigating through her past and her lawyer father's sudden death as she engages with leftover clients from her dad's estate. Along the way, her professional colleagues, family, friends, boss, new clients, and a recalcitrant Maine Coon appear sometimes timely—sometimes unexpectedly—to make life particularly interesting, if not occasionally unnerving. Jessica manages them all with humor and practicality. A Lemontini now and then serves, too, as an anodyne if professional or romantic engagements get too hectic.
