"Forgive those who have trespassed against me" takes you through the author's journey as a young girl who endured pain, neglect and no love from her mother and never knew her father. All she ever wanted was nurturing, guidance, protection, and love, but instead she experienced physical and emotional abuse that impaired her emotional development and distorted her sense of worth. She was ultimately abandoned by her mother and taken to a place that should have been safe, but wasn't. The abuse escalated to an even more destructive level including severe beatings with sticks and extension cords, rejection, and extreme, demeaning verbal abuse; abuse that left lasting and harmful effects and caused fear and ingrained psychological scars.
