Product Overview
by Pasqualina Denise Charles Many women suffer physical and emotional abuse. Most of these women are suffering in silence. In her touching and candid book, The Heart Can Heal, Pasqualina Denise Charles brings the issue of her own abuse out into the open. Sharing her own experiences, Charles details how she a seemingly strong, intelligent woman fell into the trap of an abusive relationship. She emphasizes that this can happen to any woman if she is not careful. Wanting to be an inspiration of others, Charles explains how she overcame this relationship, coming out of it a stronger person, and eventually starting a new relationship with a kind and loving man.
