Being sexually abused is one of the most destructive events that can occur to someone, especially a child.  It can lead to feelings of pain, shame and trauma which stay with a person throughout their life, damaging their adult relationships and preventing them from living life to the full.

This does not have to be the case, however. Rebecca Mitchell, who was sexually abused as a child by someone close to her, passionately believes that you do not have to be defined by your past.  Whatever damage you have suffered in the past, it is never too late to put on a new pair of shoes - to step out and build a successful future and live your dreams.

New Shoes offers easy-to-understand, friendly and achievable advice and information for freeing yourself from the shadow of sexual abuse, and discovering hidden inner strength that will give you new choices, confidence and hope.  A5 160pp

'Only you can do this...'

Cerys writes movingly of her struggles to break free from the pressures of church leaders to keep the abuse she had experienced under wraps. It took great courage on her part and a steadfast faith in God to bring her to the point where she could inform the police of what she had suffered as a young person and eventually for justice to be done.

The final chapter of the book is written by the current Senior Leader of the church, who with fellow elders has faced up to past failings and gives clear advice about what to do when abuse is discovered.
