FALLS CHURCH, Va., July 14, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Blessing Douglas, an active community volunteer and a leadership workshop host for the youths, has completed her most recent book "Of Love and Bruises": a moving story about a girl's joyous life crashing down after moving in with her father.
Blessing writes, "What was meant to be a dream come true for little Belema quickly twisted into a nightmare she couldn't wake up from.
Belema was beyond herself with happiness when her grandmother told her that her father was finally coming to take her to live with him. She was a billion sparkles of fireflies radiating with smile and enthusiasm because she was going to live with her father and enjoy the care and love of a parent.
But her hopes were dashed upon getting to her father's house. What she had hoped will be a garland of happiness soon became a deserted savannah of pain.
To have a better society, discipline must transcend physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. It must become effective and loving corrections— effective communications that improve a child's self-esteem, strength, and confidence in themselves."
Published by Fulton Books, Blessing Douglas' book is a significant novel that talks about how children's emotional development is affected by the parents' upbringing and treatment of their children.
This book also helps people promote some ideas to break the cycle of violence; thus, making the world a better, happier and safer place to live in.
Readers who wish to experience this meaningful work can purchase "Of Love and Bruises" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes & Noble.
