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 — a woman of faith, a survivor, a mother, a daughter, and now, an author.
For most of my life, I carried unspoken pain. I learned how to smile through sorrow, stay quiet to keep the peace, and shrink myself just to feel safe. But deep inside, there was always a longing — to be seen, to be heard, and to be whole.
My healing journey hasn’t been a straight line. It’s been decades of prayer, therapy, reflection, and small, brave steps toward freedom. Through it all, my faith in God has been the anchor that’s held me. Writing this book became part of that healing. It’s the fruit of both the hardest parts of my life — and the holiest.
Outside of writing, I’m someone who loves nature, good food, soulful conversations, and creating spaces where others can exhale and be real. Whether you're here as a survivor, a supporter, or just someone seeking hope — I’m grateful you’ve found your way here.
This is a sacred space. And I’m so honored to share it with you.
Let’s walk this path toward wholeness together.
