This is one interview that I won’t soon forget! Nicole Braddock Bromley shared her story of sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather. The abuse went on for years. Her mother, friends, and other family members had no idea of the dirty secret Nicole kept hidden. She was a leading student at school on the honor role, cheerleader, popular, beautiful, with an out going personality. Everything you’d imagine from a well rounded, “most likely to succeed” type. She paraded around with a convincing  facade. Until one day…

Check out the interview to hear her story.

“The worst moments of my childhood occurred in the dark. In the woods. In the attic. In my bed. My stepfather did things to me that no child should ever experience. While he did them, I would hold my breath.”  ~BREATHE

Childhood sexual abuse is suffocating thousands of victims across our nation. With one in three women and one in six men experiencing some form of sexual abuse or assault, our world is full of survivors — survivors longing to be healed.

Breathe can help. Written by fellow survivor Nicole Braddock Bromley, Breathe guides abuse survivors – and those who love them – from muffled existence to exuberant life. By showing readers how to create a “circle of inspiration,” Breathe describes how people who promote healing can help break a cycle of brokenness. Using characters from Scripture to illustrate the experiences of survivors, each chapter contains stories and letters from real-life survivors, their friends, and their families.

In a practical and approachable way, Breathe discusses relationship topics ranging from mentoring and friendships to intimacy and marriage. And to he;p those who walk alongside a survivor, Breathe highlights common coping mechanisms as well as signs that signal something may be amiss.

Sexual abuse takes your breath away. Let Breathe help you get it back.
