DOWNLOAD EBOOKSexually abused by her father for many years, Yvonne Ellis was ostracised from her family for telling the truth. She was taken into the care system at thirteen years old and found herself entering into a world of dysfunction, despair, and confusion. Labelled a 'problem child,' she battled with many emotions—inferiority, depression, heartbreak. By the time she was fourteen, she was walking down the road of self-destruction. Abusing drugs, self-harming, and fighting became commonplace. By the time Yvonne left the care system, she was sixteen and pregnant. After Yvonne's relationship with her child's father crumbles, she doesn't expect to find love again. But when Ryan enters her life, Yvonne cannot deny the instant connection they share. The two begin dating and fall in love. Ryan soon asks Yvonne to be his wife. Hardly believing her life could have taken such a dramatic turn for the better, Yvonne accepts. She and Ryan begin their life together and soon add a baby girl to their family. But when Yvonne's first child brings allegations against Ryan that coincidentally resemble those Yvonne brought against her own father years before, Yvonne's happy family is torn apart. Will the claims against Ryan prove to be true? Can Yvonne survive yet another heartbreak? Pain, betrayal, and finding God mark the incredible journey Yvonne embarked on, beginning at a painfully young age. Find out how Yvonne overcomes in her tragic yet inspiring memoir Daughter, Arise: A Journey from Devastation to Restoration.
