It is often when we empathize with the pain of others that we learn to deal with our demons. Luz wanted to write her autobiography because she wanted to encourage others who have gone through similar situations and go along the traditional advice to not talk about matters of physical and sexual abuse, particularly at such a young age. Such issues are labeled as taboo and are thought of as something one should not talk about. But injustice can only go on for so long. So Luz decided to write a book, explaining the hardships she and her family had experienced from quite a young age at the hands of her loved ones. The story takes its readers on a journey where one realizes how we are not thankful enough for the much safer and secure childhood that we've had, and no matter how hard we think our lives are, there is always someone who is going through something worst. Her story is captivating and heartfelt. Her harrowing tale of childhood abuse and her determination of hope and survival is magnificent. Ending the cycle of abuse in her family is presented in beautiful language. Ms. Haddad's tale could be of value to different audiences. The general public will be enlightened and inspired by her highly readable story. Other adult survivors, People who have gone through a certain pain, will find the courage to move forward and begin to heal in their own lives.
