Book II: Embrace My Innocence
Chapter V: Looking up to Rainbows and Star Light Skies


Broken By Abuse, Healed By Love

A child, full of pain and suffering from crushing words and violent beatings finds brief escape under a starlight sky. For her, the night sky looks as though God has asked everyone in heaven to turn the lights on in their rooms| to let her know she is loved and not alone, even though what happens to her at home makes her feel very unloved and very alone.
Years later,
people and places have come into her life bringing love and healing, just as the stars brought comfort with the Love that had created both the girl and the stars years ago. To this day, the night sky appears to her like a giant blanket of stars placed over her by the love of God.
