HUSH Silenced by a Touch in the Night by Dr. Patrice A. Palmer:

In this book Dr. Palmer takes us on her life journey of loss, betrayal, shattered moments, and road to healing. Silenced by a touch in the night, she tells the story of so many young girls in the hopes that her story will bring life, healing, and faith to those who think they can never be whole again.

“HUSH is an inspiring demonstration of courage in the face of helplessness, virtue in the violation of innocence. Through this autobiographical look at her early life, Dr. Palmer provides a lens into the sometimes subtle, but always calculated touch of abuse that stole her purity and left her discarded. Yet through faith, determination, and poetic expression, she turns the events of her past into a roadmap of healing for anyone struggling with the impact of sexual abuse.” Paul Kampf

Shattered Pieces by Jeff Sparr Co-Founder of Peace-Love

Shattered Pieces was created by Jeff Sparr for Dr. Palmer to show the brokenness into a multiplicity of pieces she found herself in. This artwork is shattered yet through love, surrounded by her village of strength, courage, and family their love and support was instrumental for her healing and life change.

Shattered Pieces:

Today I see the stains of my yesterday pains, so brutal and vile
If you think it is a joke, just be me and walk one mile.
My emotions are heavy, and I feel so drained,
I wonder if I can live with or past this pain.
No one said it would be easy playing life at its game.
Hear me cry out loud I do not want to remain the same.
All I know is I can change by facing yesterday’s pain.
By Dr. Patrice A. Palmer
