Leaving My Brother's House Kylie Victoria McBride

The story of Tamar, King David's princess daughter, is sadly familiar to so many. After suffering devastating and debilitating abuse at the hands of one who should have loved and protected her, she finds herself further ostracized by a culture (religious and social) which provided no avenue for healing, renewal or integration back into society. The scripture ends her story with, "Tamar lived in her brother, Absalom's home, bitter and desolate." (The Message) Leaving My Brother's House offers honest insight into the struggles of one wounded by sexual abuse, and the painful but necessary journey toward wholeness and freedom. Challenging the isolation and secrecy that accompanies emotional, sexual and physical abuse, Leaving My Brother's House initiates a conversation that is long overdue.
