Molestation of an innocent child, by a parent or sibling in the home, is one of the most heinous and cowardly crimes. It often goes undetected, unpunished, and unspoken, leaving the victim scarred for life.

Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime. Children, as well as adults, who endure these tragedies must be nurtured and healed. Shaken To The Core tells the story and experiences of C. J. Rock (a nom de plume). The book deals with the aftermath of repressed memories, when her dark family secrets finally exploded to the surface.
Rock writes that she was an adult woman when all of her past choices suddenly took on a whole new relevance. The mixed messages and faded memories haunting the roots of her being started to unravel. Once the barrier was broken there was no turning back.
“If one person who reads Shaken To The Core knows someone who is being abused and stands up for them, then my story, as painful as it is to tell, will have been worth the years it took for me to put it on paper,” Rock says. She hopes that Shaken To The Core will help some readers learn how to heal themselves—to reach out for help and to stand up for themselves.
