Product Description
by Jenelle Brewer (Author)
In her memoir, Releasing Jezebel: Embracing the Lioness Within, Jenelle lived what other children dreamed of on her family's ranch on a reserve with her faithful dog, beautiful horses, turtle-filled pond, and abundant acreage to freely discover. However, her fairy-tale life could not be told without the presence of the villain of child abuse.
Jenelle struggled as a victim but also as a witness to the repeated abuse her close friend endured. Trauma shaped her personality from a very young age as she repeatedly faced and escaped her demons of shame and fear.
As a teenager, Jenelle used alcohol to numb emotional pain and eventually turned to drugs to forget what no child should have experienced or seen. Addiction rapidly led her on a roller coaster of highs and lows as she desperately attempted to bury her past.
With every turn, Jenelle takes you through countless near-death encounters while dangerous men simultaneously implant the seed of unworthiness and its self-destructive consequence.
After becoming a mother, this courageous woman created a better life for herself and her children by tapping into her sheer will and determination to heal. She continues to fight the adversities of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome as she walks the road of recovery with integrity, leadership, and compassion. This is the story of the girl and woman who was and always will embrace the lioness within.
