From that grew the roots of fear, self-sabotage and self-destructive behaviours, as she fought to find her place in the world - holding her inner light like a fragile piece of a broken mirror.Janelle faced so much complexity of wanting to be loved that she became intertwined in a dance with shadows that taunted her and played games with her. The abuse she endured at the hands of men only made her grow stronger and also fueled her passion to live a life free of fear.The greater the child's terror and the earlier it is experienced, the harder it is to live a life with self worth and positive healthy relationships, not only with oneself, but with all relationships in life. Janelle had to break the chains of the encoded trauma passed down throughout generations.House of Shadows is a powerful, inspiring memoir of one woman's journey to set herself free and achieve what most would think impossible.
