Demon in the Pulpit

Demon in the pulpit is a book of essays journaling my survival of childhood abuse at the hands of my father.

The book chronicles the loss of my innocence, a happy childhood, and my RN career all caused by the combination
of my fathers mental illness, abuse, addictions, and years of seminary. My father tried to run from his demons
by moving us all across this country and bouncing back and forth from different religions to drinking, drugs, and women.

Each chapter is a snapshot of an account followed by coping skills learned through a wonderful therapist,
changing my life!

About the Author

I am forty-eight, I have a BSN, and a MHA/Ed.

I worked for many years in nursing but transitioned to teaching college. I want to first dedicate this book to my five siblings and mother who survived with me, and to my children, Ashton, Cody, and Megan. May you better understand my struggles and my love for you through this book. Thank you for your unconditional love through it all! And last, to all my fellow survivors, this book is really for you! May you take even a small part away that will help you in your healing journey!
