In this story you will read how one lonely girl gets caught in a web where there seems no escape. This is in a time when problems in the home were not spoken about so she doesn’t know where to turn. She is also scared to talk to authorities for fear of punishment.
God’s wisdom says, “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 N.I.V.
Having suffered hurt and shame the author hopes by writing her story it will help others from falling into a similar trap. Although now is a different age in time with more education and discussion, abuse still thrives and women still remain silent. Cara escaped this marriage when she was almost fifty, going on to gain a professional career. Thus proving you are never too old to learn. The scars do remain however and she has had to battle her emotions, especially when made to feel inferior by others. She is now a retired Health Professional, Psychology and Bible college graduate. “With God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

Cara’s heart was shattered. She had no one to confide in; no one in her family had time for her. Her mother worked and slept most of the time when at home. Her elder sisters worked away from home now as did her older brother. There was no one to talk to and Cara didn’t know what to do. So she allowed Paul to keep putting life over her.
Then another Greek boy— we’ll call him George— took an interest in her. Cara didn’t realize his interest was probably only to get sex from her also. She decided to go with him for a drive in his nice car. Nothing happened —, yet when Paul found out he was like a roaring lion. He took her for a drive and raped her in the back seat of his brother’s car. That was her punishment for going out with someone else! Afterwards he would blame Cara for making it happen.

Author review: I am thrilled with the excellent work Bianca produced on my book. The quality was first class and completed within the time limit. We communicated regularly with Bianca always understanding and respecting of my views. The book is not on the market as yet, however I believe since coming to know Bianca, that she will be as enthusiastic as myself in advertising awareness. |
