•Fans of Erin Merryn''s heart-wrenching debut memoir Stolen Innocence were left wondering what would become of an emotionally fragile Erin after her confrontation with the reality of being a child of incest and molestation. In Living for Today, readers find that Erin cultivated the strength to face her abuser and eventually experienced relief from years of emotional restlessness, while also igniting the beginnings of a new fearless journey. Living for Today offers a roadmap for self-discovery, forgiveness, and empowerment to help readers rid the stigma they have attached to their trauma and live fully and fearlessly for today. Readers will learn how they too can:

*Look foward, in spite of an abusive past
*Block off any impending guilt from outing an abuser
*Deal with interfamily strife as a result of incest and molestation
*Shake off the "victim" tag and replace it with one that reads "survivor"
