Bloom, Don't break
A True Story of Courage, Hope, and Healing From Childhood Sexual Abuse and Trauma
A True Story of Courage, Hope, and Healing From Childhood Sexual Abuse and Trauma
This is a book I never imagined I’d write — and yet, it's one I now know I was called to share.
Bloom, Don’t Break is a true story of surviving childhood sexual abuse, living through the long silence that followed, and finding the courage to heal. It’s raw and reflective, full of honest moments and sacred truths that have shaped the woman I am today.
But, this book isn’t just about trauma — it’s about restoration. It’s about the slow, holy work of reclaiming joy, rebuilding faith, and believing that your story doesn’t end in brokenness.
Inside the pages, you’ll find my personal journey woven with scripture, journal prompts, and affirmations — all created to support survivors who are still walking through the aftermath. Whether you’ve lived through trauma yourself or love someone who has, this book was written with you in mind.
Writing Bloom, Don’t Break was an act of healing. Publishing it is an act of hope.
If you’ve ever felt buried by your past, I pray these words will remind you that you were always meant to bloom — even here, even now.
Hi, I’m Jacqueline.
I am a woman of faith, survivor, mother, daughter, and now, an author.
For much of my life, I carried pain that I never spoke about. I learned how to smile through sorrow, stay quiet to keep the peace, and make myself small just to feel safe. But deep inside, I always longed to be seen, to be heard, and to be whole.
My healing journey hasn’t been easy or perfect. It’s been years of prayer, therapy, reflection, and taking small, brave steps toward freedom. Through it all, my faith in God has been the anchor that’s held me steady. Writing this book became a part of that healing. It’s the fruit of both the hardest and the holiest parts of my life.
Outside of writing, I love spending time in nature, enjoying good food, having soulful conversations, and creating spaces where others can exhale and simply be real.
Whether you’re here as a survivor, a supporter, or someone searching for hope, I’m so grateful you’re here. This is a sacred space, and I’m truly honored to share it with you.
Let’s walk this path together toward healing and wholeness.
