Our own personal survival Story
 

I am a survivor who has a lot to say now that I have my own voice, and turned a life of unknown early childhood sexual abuse into a positive and powerful force for change in my adult life. Over these years while recovering and healing from revisiting my childhood past, I Authored and self-published three books on my survival of childhood sexual abuse trauma.

My name is Cristina. I am the author of Secrets of a Broken Heart. The Exile Years and Spirit of Love. It is the only name that truly belongs to me, even though I have been someone's daughter, someone's wife, and someone's mother. These are titles and not who I truly am. You see, I was given away at birth and the only thing that truly belongs to me and is mine, is the name "Cristina".

Cristina's House of Hope has evolved from the life lessons I have learned to now, which provide me with a solid foundation to draw energy, motivation and direction to then support others who need the services that are not currently provided in the current structures in our communities.

For me it has become a job to bring these issues on childhood sexual abuse out into the open. I thought to now that writing and publishing these books, talking openly to people about sexual abuse on children, then getting these self published books out there into the libraries, was enough for my part. It's never enough! It's a constant battle to free us from the enslaved mentality of the past, even though it's an individual journey for everyone to get out of prison. If we choose to look for answers within ourselves we will find ways out of our prison cell.
