I Have A Voice

with the author’s painful childhood—marked by abuse, fear, neglect, and the silencing of her true self. She describes growing up in a home filled with anger, violence, and shame, where she was told to keep secrets and came to believe she was “trouble and unwanted.

As the story unfolds, the book shifts from trauma to healing. J.E.B. recounts her struggles with depression, insecurity, and obsessive-compulsive patterns, as well as her yearning for love and belonging. The turning point comes when she discovers the message of Jesus Christ—first through a television broadcast, and later through deeper immersion in Scripture and church life. She describes this awakening as her rescue: God’s love became her anchor, her identity, and her freedom from darkness

The book weaves together:
• Raw childhood memories of abuse, neglect, and secrecy.
• Spiritual transformation through discovering God’s love, grace, and promises in the Bible.
• Personal reflections on forgiveness, self-worth, and healing over decades.
• Encouragement to readers: she insists that everyone has a voice and should share their story, because “with your voice, you will love it”

It is ultimately a testimony of moving from silence and shame to speaking boldly, rooted in faith. It’s written both as a healing confession and as an invitation for others to embrace their own God-given identity, voice, and purpose.
