<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Charlotte Thomason endured unspeakable sexual, physical, and emotional abuse at the hands of her parents and other family members throughout her childhood. What Kind of Love is this? Finding God in the Darkness, </em> follows Charlotte as she guides her granddaughter, Angel, through her chaotic life. As the story unfolds, Charlotte is mired in doubt that anyone could love her, let alone God, and her life is torn apart by sexual addiction and mental illness. She realizes her life depends on remembering, accepting God's love, and learning to cope with her forgotten childhood trauma.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Endorsement: </strong></p><p><em>What Kind of Love is This?</em> Is a book everyone should read. For those who have experienced abuse, it brings hope for healing; for those who have not, awareness and understanding.</p><p>It was difficult to read. I kept thinking, "how can this happen?" and "why didn't anyone do something?" But as I continued through each painful page, I thought, "This gets better, there is a good ending." I know Charlotte, so I knew it ended well.</p><p>For those who think their life is so damaged that it can never have a good ending, Charlotte's story is good news. It begins in a very dark place, a horrific place, but joy comes. Not a snap-of-the-fingers fix, but a steady building and growth of joy. This is what restoration looks like, like the lepers who discovered they were healed "as they went," we too walk into our joy. </p><p>This isn't just Charlotte's story. That Good End is open to all who fix their eyes upon the cross.</p><p>-<strong>C.M. Alvarez</strong>, Author and Bible teacher at <em>Raised to Walk</em>.</p><p><br></p><p>Charlotte Thomason tells a tale that only she can tell: a heartbreaking story of pain that shows the power of God to wipe away every tear. She takes us to the depths of the destruction of sin and demonstrates how God's goodness puts us back together again. A stunning story of amazing grace.</p><p>-<strong>Dr. Phil Tallon</strong>, Associate Professor of Theology, <em>Houston Baptist University</em>.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the Author: </strong></p><p>With a Master of Science in Social Work, a Master of Arts in Cultural Apologetics, over 30 years of experience in social work, and as a survivor of childhood trauma, Charlotte Thomason has seen, both professionally and personally, the devastation created by child abuse. </p><p>She wants to use her experience to bring hope to those who feel lost and hopeless due to childhood trauma and bring encouragement to those who help them.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>How can we better understand the deep hurt carried by someone who has suffered sexual abuse? We must take the time to compassionately listen. I had the privilege of witnessing Charlotte's progress in coming to terms with her past, then putting her life into a beautiful work of hope and redemption, culminating in this book. Her memoir helped me to better understand the struggle and heartache of people I know who bear the scars of abuse. This is essential reading.</p><p>--<strong>Annie Nardone</strong>, Managing editor of <em>Literary Life</em> and contributing writer and editor of <em>An Unexpected Journal</em>.</p><p> </p><p>Proof that with strong faith the human spirit is resilient. No child deserves the horrific experiences that Charlotte lived through, yet she survived and became a source of comfort and healing for others. A must-read for those working with childhood sexual abuse survivors. The abuse Charlotte experienced followed her into adulthood and skewed her understanding of healthy relationships and love. Her self-esteem was tied to her belief that sex was the only way to earn and keep love as an adult. As the founder of The Oaks Agency boys' home, I will share this book with my staff to improve their understanding of the needs of youth who have been abused.</p><p> -Theresa Alexander</strong>, MS-HS, Founder of The Oaks Agency boys' home</em>.</p><p><br></p><p>As Pastors, we have the privilege of hearing people's stories - the good & the bad. We are always amazed at how God heals, sets us free, and uses all of us in spite of our experiences.</p><p>Wow! This book is one of the most amazing redemption stories we have ever heard. We could not put it down. The way Charlotte Thomason combines her personal experience with her professional knowledge and her intimate relationship with God is nothing short of breathtaking. This is a must-read for ministry leaders, psychologists, survivors of childhood abuse. This book will give hope to people of all walks of life and encourage them to become all God's created them to be. Thank you, Charlotte, for being brave and sharing your story with us.</p><p>-Pastors Sam & Kelly Mata, </strong> Co-Pastors, Shoreline Church South Campus</em>.</p><p><br></p><p>Charlotte takes us to the depth of her pain and along the winding road to recovery in the most vulnerable of ways. The strategic use of sonnets provides much-needed mini respites and additional insight into the desperate longing in her soul. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in seeking a pathway to freedom, for themselves or a loved one.</p><p>-<strong>Chery R.
