Childhood Abuse - A Silent Disease

Amanada Richardson, author of Saved From the Silence, talks about how she and her family displayed the essence of a perfect family. But the secrets contained within were destroying Amanda's life. Though friends and relatives knew that her father an upstanding citizen, a contributing member of society, and a religious family leader was strict, they had no knowledge of the physical, mental, and emotional torture he inflicted upon Amanda and her brother, David. After four years of sexual abuse, Amanda felt like an empty shell of a human being and incapable of any productive future.
