Non-Fiction Memoir
Eleven-year-old Erin Myrren's life was transformed on the
night she was sexually abused by her cousin, someone she
loved and trusted. As the abuse continued, and as she was
forced to see her abuser over and over again in social
situations, she struggled with self-doubt, panic attacks,
nightmares and the weight of whether or not to tell her
terrible secret. It wasn't until a traumatic series of
events showed her the cost of silence that she chose to
speak out-in the process destroying both her family and the
last of her innocence. Through her personal diary, written
during the years of her abuse, Erin Myrren shares her
journey through pain and confusion to inner strength and,
ultimately, forgiveness. Raw, powerful and unflinchingly
honest, Stolen Innocence is the inspiring story of one
girl's struggle to become a woman, and a bright light on the
pain and devastation of abuse. Stolen Innocence is written
with conviction and clarity. [Erin Myrren] doesn't hold
back, and I respect her honesty and openness...By the end of
the book, I thought I was reading passages from a much older
adult than a high school senior. Erin has grown into a
strong, wise, intelligent, perceptive, spiritual, caring
adult." --Susan Reedquist, The Children's Advocacy Center
