Purchase options and add-ons

My prayer is that this book will start you on a process so that you too can begin your journey of healing. This book is for young girls, women and anyone else who was introduced to sex before they were cognitively able to understand what was going on and as a result have indulged in behaviors labeled as inappropriate in desperate attempts to “reclaim” your power but to no avail.

    I found this book an easy read. Ms. Harris-Hutchinson was vulnerable and was able to open up and tell the readers her story. I see how this book can help someone heal. At the end of each chapter, Ms. Harris-Hutchinson ask four questions to the reader and a section to write down their feelings/answers. I do recommend this book.

    Well done. Simple and to the point. I'll be reading it again to answer the question when I have more time. You have given me lots to think about. I have to rethink some of my experiences that I never considered an issue. For people that deny their pass this book may be the thing that can change your life for the better.

    This book truly dispels all societal norms about trauma. I read it in one week and read it again, while doing the workbook pages the second time. It was thought provoking and the workbook pages were extremely valuable. I feel this book will help the healing process for Millions of people that have been previously not able to share their trauma. Thank you to the author for being so transparent. It is a badge of courage and perseverance that is truly inspiring. Thank you. I bought 2 books. One for me and one to share. I can’t wait for the book tour. This is a must read! Agape

    Carolyn's son Melcom was reading a few chapters from her book this evening. I had to buy it. I just finished reading the whole book, I couldn't put it down. A lot of what Carolyn felt and went through, I could relate, I too was molested as a preteen. For years I blamed myself. I felt dirty, shameful, sad, lonely,depressed and not trusting of men .To this day, I still haven't told what happened. I'm currently seeing a therapist, I haven't told her my story yet. I don't want to feel like I'm being judged. Thank you Carolyn for sharing your story. Many people have told me I should write a book. Reading yours have encouraged me to do so. Just like you have encouraged me, I would like to encourage people to speak up and be aware of who's around your children. Thank you so much, I'm in tears. 💜

    I reccomend this book to all and any ,especially women, who find it difficult to move pass the hurt, shame, fear and anger they are feeling from past indiscretions and abuses and are seeking peace, joy and happiness! This has been an emotional, enlightening and encouraging read! "The First Time" has helped me realize that I have the strength, courage and control to dictate how I want my story to end. I fully understand and accept that I matter to me! That I am not flawed! Although, this new journey is hard, this is "The First Time..I choose ME!

    I bought this book without knowing its focus. The author bares her all. She leaves nothing to the imagination. It displays raw and rare honesty. I appreciate the workbook style. This book should lead readers who identify with the author to seek professional help. For someone who hasn’t come to grips with her/his issues, this book can be overwhelming. Read the book. Seek help. Author, thank you for your ministry of service in helping victims find their voice.

    I loved this book because it gives you the full picture from the person who was abused sexually such as myself and it lets me know how she felt all those years. It's very similar to my own and this book touched me and let me know its okay to feel this way and you can get through it and you can heal yourself.
