Painful Reflexions

About the Book

Book 2 tells of Chock coping with being molested and raped at the age of ten, and years of racial bullying in school, and years of spousal abuse by the men she trusted during her adult years. At the age of sixteen Chock was married to an abusive man for twenty-three years. Three years after Chock’s divorce, she meets Isaac. Chock decided to leave her home and live with Isaac in Los Angeles. With Isaac, Chock began to feel different about herself. To save Isaac’s life, Chock had to put on another pair of big-girl panties. She was forced to find the bitch in her that she had buried and tried to keep hidden by pretending that the ugliness hadn’t happened to her.
