Glendora Edward was born in Vieux-fort, St. Lucia, where she still lives with her family. She volunteers as a counselor for abused women and children. It was time to write this book “when I saw so many children being abused and the need for them to know that they are not alone and should fight for the right to be safe. It was a heartbreaking experience to write this book, because trying to come up with the words that I needed to do so, knowing it would wake up old wounds for some was difficult. But when I was done with it, I felt happy knowing that I accomplished what my mentor asked of me many years ago.” This is her first book. The next is I Cried in Silence.
