The Shattering II: Breaking the Silence is a compelling true story of overcoming child sexual abuse. More than a story of victimization, it is a story of the power of love, the promise of hope and the joy of knowing that we can heal. This inspirational novel will hold the reader in suspense where they will find their hearts forever touched. "If we can be brave enough to enter the dark shadows of the unspeakable and pull back the curtains, we not only reveal the light, but set the captives free. It is God's desire to take us from lost to found, from death to life, from victim to Victor!"

"Marsha Barth's book stands out as an insightful, compassionate and candid journey from the pain of abuse to the blessing of healing. THE SHATTERING II is written with personal knowledge of the pain in the process but with a unique understanding of the heart of human nature, as well. Every reader will learn that, while the healing process is not easy and it is not quick, it is possible if we break the silence that has trapped so many in the past. This engaging book will be a valuable resource for all who are committed to the healing process." PA State Representative Mauree Gingrich
