There was a closet in that rented house, and it had a small window.
She was twelve years old. On the nights her stepfather came into her room, she would crawl into that closet afterward, climb into the window and cry — telling herself that if nobody could see her, then nobody could see how broken she was.
Connie Harris kept that secret for years. She was warned she would be blamed if she told. She was warned her mother would go to prison and the children would be scattered to an orphanage. So she said nothing, and buried the pain so deep that she came to hate her own life.
This is the story of what happened next.
Connie tells all of it — the violence in the house, the police at the door every single weekend, the marriage that collapsed at seventeen, the two small children who kept her alive on the nights she wanted to die, and the evening she finally knelt at the edge of her bed and let Jesus take the weight she had carried alone since she was a girl.
And then the part almost nobody writes about. She forgave him. She wrote to the man who had raped her and asked for his forgiveness, for the years she had spent hating him. He tore the letter up and mailed the pieces back. She forgave him anyway, and walked out of a prison she had been locked in for forty years.
Read this if
- You were hurt as a child and have never said it out loud
- You are carrying shame that was never yours to carry
- You want to forgive someone and have no idea how to begin
- You love someone who is suffering and you don't know what to say to her
- You have quietly wondered whether God could still want you
Connie Harris is not a therapist. She is a grandmother from Ward, Arkansas, married to her Butch for more than fifty years, who has stood up in front of women's groups for over forty years and told them the worst thing that ever happened to her — because every time she does, someone in the room finally speaks too.
Short enough to finish in one sitting. Honest enough to change how you see yourself.
If you or someone you love has been made to feel worthless and unlovable, don't put this down. The abuse does not get the last word. The shame does not get the last word.
You are not a victim. You are an overcomer.

Diritto di recesso
Se sei un consumatore puoi recedere dal contratto in conformità con quanto segue. Per Consumatore si intende qualsiasi persona fisica che agisce per scopi estranei alla propria attività commerciale, imprenditoriale, artigianale o professionale.
Informazioni sul diritto di recesso
Diritto legale di recesso
Hai il diritto di recedere dal presente contratto entro 14 giorni senza fornire alcuna motivazione.
Il periodo di recesso scade dopo 14 giorni dal giorno in cui tu o una terza parte, diversa dal vettore e da te indicata, acquisisce il possesso fisico dell'ultimo bene o dell'ultimo lotto o pezzo.
Per esercitare il diritto di recesso, compila e invia elettronicamente una dichiarazione esplicita sul nostro sito Web, alla voce “I miei acquisti” nella sezione “Mio account”. Ti comunicheremo senza indugio una conferma di ricezione di tale recesso su un supporto durevole (ad es. via e-mail).
Per rispettare il termine di recesso, è sufficiente inviare la comunicazione relativa all'esercizio del diritto di recesso prima della scadenza del periodo di recesso stesso.
Effetti del recesso
In caso di recesso dal presente contratto, ti rimborseremo tutti i pagamenti ricevuti, compresi i costi di spedizione (ad eccezione dei costi supplementari derivanti dalla tua eventuale scelta di un tipo di spedizione diverso dal tipo meno costoso di consegna standard da noi offerto).
Potremo effettuare una detrazione dal rimborso per la perdita di valore dei beni forniti, qualora tale perdita sia il risultato di una manipolazione non necessaria da parte tua.
Eseguiremo il rimborso senza indebito ritardo e non oltre 14 giorni dal giorno in cui saremo informati della tua decisione di recedere dal presente contratto.
Il rimborso sarà effettuato utilizzando lo stesso mezzo di pagamento da te usato per la transazione iniziale, salvo che tu non abbia espressamente concordato altrimenti; in ogni caso, non dovrai sostenere alcun costo quale conseguenza di tale rimborso.
Possiamo trattenere il rimborso finché non avremo ricevuto i beni oppure finché non avrai fornito la prova di averli rispediti, a seconda di quale condizione si verifichi per prima.
Dovrai rispedire i beni o consegnarli a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., senza indebito ritardo e, in ogni caso, entro 14 giorni dal giorno in cui ci hai comunicato la tua volontà di recedere dal presente contratto. Il termine è rispettato se rispedisci i beni prima della scadenza del periodo di 14 giorni. I costi diretti della restituzione dei beni saranno a tuo carico. Sei responsabile solo della diminuzione del valore dei beni risultante da una manipolazione diversa da quella necessaria per stabilire la natura, le caratteristiche e il funzionamento dei beni stessi.

Il diritto di recesso non si applica a:
- La fornitura di giornali, periodici o riviste ad eccezione dei contratti di abbonamento; e
- La fornitura di contenuto digitale non fornito su un supporto materiale (ad es. su un CD o DVD), se al momento dell'invio dell'ordine hai accettato l'inizio dell'esecuzione e hai riconosciuto che non avresti potuto recedere una volta iniziata l'esecuzione.
