内容简介:
Twenty-One-Gun Salute is one woman's account of how, at a very tender age, while enduring a painful disability, her childhood innocence was stolen from her by a close family member. The beloved patriarch of her family and World War I veteran's honorable send-off signaled her release from a horrifying five-year prison term of sexual molestation, with a fear-filled heart as her cell mate. With tear-stained cheeks and a deep sigh of relief, she watched the uniformed men lifting their rifles to honor a man whose secrets of molesting an innocent child would be buried with him, while the sound of gunfire pounded her eardrums. She was nine years old. Leaving Arlington National Cemetery that day, little did she realize that her torment was not yet over. Years later, a "spiritual phenomenon" would bring about a deep healing.
