Daughter Arise

Sexually abused by her Father for many years, Yvonne Ellis was ostracised by her family for telling the truth. She was taken into the care system at thirteen years old and found herself entering a world of dysfunction, despair and confusion. Labeled a "problem child" she battled with many emotions- inferiority, depression, heartbreak. By the time she was fourteen, she was walking down the road of self destruction. Abusing drugs, self-harming and fighting became commonplace. By the time Yvonne left the care system, she was sixteen and pregnant.

Pain, betrayal, and finding God mark the incredible journey Yvonne has embarked on beginning at a painfully young age. Found out how Yvonne overcomes in her tragic yet inspiring memoir, Daughter Arise.
