My Story
This is the story of Lil' Red, a beautiful, rambunctious, energetic, red headed little soul born into a hostile world, who does her best to battle the wolves in her life from childhood bullies, to her mother and father and then her abusive husband.
Jill shares the life lessons learned, strategies for survival, how to break the cycle of violence and inspiration for overcoming adversity, pain and trauma. She also shows us how to fortify ourselves and build up our reserves so that when we encounter hardships in life, we can call up our resilience when we need it.
As a survivor of abuse herself, it's Jill's hope to shed some light on domestic violence, parental abuse and bullying through sharing her deeply intimate thoughts, experiences, feelings and insights. As you walk back through her experience alongside her, moments of pain and joy, heartache and triumph will hopefully expand your perspective and inspire action for change. You might even find some of your own healing along the way.
