Altar(ed) Girl
One Woman's True Story of Confronting Clergy Sexual Abuse
by C. M. Morgan
Author C.M. Morgan recounts the forty-year journey of recovering from
childhood clergy sexual abuse. From traveling to another state and
having a face-to-face conversation with her perpetrator, to enduring
five long years of litigation against the church, C.M. spiraled through
the tears, fears, and struggles shared by almost all survivors of sexual
abuse.
Feeling spiritually lost and emotionally worn out, C.M. found her
soul and her long-lost self during her six-month hiatus traveling
throughout Australia. Finding and embracing forgiveness proved, once
again, that our history is not our destiny.
Through the power of love and guidance from friends and complete
strangers, she celebrates her victories, while realizing the power of
confronting the demons and trusting oneself.
