"I am just a little girl and should not know all these things but I do because I was sexually abused! Please help me!" (anonymous survivor)
"God bless you for the work you are doing amongst us, His broken children". (anonymous survivor)
"For years I have been angry at God for not helping me. Why does He allow so much pain in my life? For years I've been unhappy. Never really living; just existing. Now I am serving a life sentence for my crime. From your book I have discovered that I am my own worst enemy. Wow! What a revelation! I would like to thank you for writing the book and making it available for me to read. (FL prisoner)
"It is ironic that your ministry is called 'I Am Whole'. I have frequently told psychologists that I want to be whole. It is no coincidence that you came into my life." (FL prisoner serving life sentence)
"I read your book and said 'Oh my God, how did this woman know my story'. I am 60 years old and have fighting this battle my whole life. I still have the nightmares at 60 - will they ever go away? I wonder why God does not answer my prayers, why He does not hear me? I love the Lord so much it hurts but I keep going back to prison because of my pain. I am angry at the whole world. Please pray for me, please help me!" (FL prisoner)
"Please pray that Jesus will heal my broken heart. I have been in prison three times and everyone but you has given up hope on me." (FL prisoner)
“You are pure inspiration and a hero – you had no one to follow yourself but you are leading millions out of darkness!” (anonymous male survivor)
"I told my girls if they want to understand me to read your book because you have told my story so perfectly... wow I never realized that there was another person that experienced so closely what I did. Even things said or situations experienced were like you were actually telling from my past. I was at the doctor's office yesterday and I started your book... tears were streaming down my face... Thank you for your honesty and forthrightness on this very painful topic." (anonymous survivor)
"Thanks to Linda Fossen, I now can relate and understand what I went through. She put my feelings into words, which helps me beyond forgiving." (anonymous survivor)
"Your book saved my life, Miss Linda. I have read it 23 times and am going to read it again. Every time I read it I learn something new. I was abused and have a daughter whose father is my brother. I cannot tell you how much your book has touched my heart. Thank you." (Prison inmate)
"I am a volunteer chaplain at the prison and am here on the chaplain's day off to give out death notifications and messages of family emergencies to the women here. The women all know that if I call them to the chapel it is bad news. I don't know how many times I have seen inmates come to the chapel holding your book. It must give them tremendous comfort and hope because they want it with them in their hour of need." (volunteer chaplain)
