Where the Cherries End Up: A Memoir

Being a victim of rape at the tender age of 14 was the sad beginning for an innocent young girl. What followed amounted to a lifetime of ugliness, exploitation, and abuse.

’At the time, I didn’t know there was a term for what Harry was doing to me. He was grooming me for prostitution. He was not what he had professed to be. He was not my boyfriend, and he was not a nice man.’

=========================================

In a world that often glosses over the depths of hardships, few have the courage to tell their story honestly. In this memoir, the reader will witness an extraordinary journey. A story of resilience, transformation, and the painful but powerful reclaiming of identity. Navigating an intense relationship with a narcissistic man, the author reveals the often-hidden reality of emotional and mental abuse. It is time for her story to be heard, I highly recommend this book.

A world full of dangerous threats and obstacles ... a world many are covertly intrigued by, but never directly experience. Sandra experienced a lifetime in the world of massage parlours, drugs, and sex. Not many of us on the ’other side’ of that world become friends with people living that kind of life. It is hard to believe the gal I know today is the same one who lived the scary, unsettling experiences you will read about in the pages ahead.
