"Shards of Glass" to be Released in June 2013 was written after the Lord's gentle leading through a friend's tender advice and counsel in the span of three weeks.

I have always known that my story needed to be told for my healing and recovery but up until three months ago; I always dismissed the thought and went about life as per usual. I was not strong enough at the time to relive the various "Snap Shots" of my past or deal with the intense emotions and triggers in a healthy manner.
- CW Seymore, author

Reviews:

"Shards of Glass" will push all your buttons and wake you up to the reality many of us live with, but seldom acknowledge or write about. It is simultaneously horrific and hopeful, striking a fine balance between facing down the barrel of violence and not letting it define who we are or how we survive."

Gabriel Constans, Ph.D. Author of Don't Just Sit There, Do Something! Grief's Wake Up Call and Good Grief: Love, Loss & Laughter.

Even knowing that the author's childhood ended almost 30 years ago, I am still saddened by the message of "Shards of Glass" because I know not much has changed since then. The average citizen knows that Domestic and Child abuse are major issues...and yet so very little is done by the average person. As a society we still haven't accepted that victims are safe when we intervene. "Shards of Glass" is every bit as valid today as it would have been then. I hope millions of Americans will read "Shards of Glass" and that it will have far-reaching and lasting impact on us!"

Mandy Trouten, Anti-Abuse Advocate; Author, "Maybe Today" and soon to be released "Shadows of Night."

As a Humanitarian and Writer and upon full review of the book "Shards Of Glass" by CW Seymore, I fully endorse her written work and Commend her Tenacity, Spirit, Faith in GOD and Courage to painfully reveal her story.
Since her early childhood she was a victim of severe physical, mental and sexual abuse which she graphically relives and shares in her book for the sake of helping others that are going through or have gone through similar experiences.
Her abuse, like many started at a tender age and in the home from her own Father which makes the testimony of what she went through even more of a horror! No one should have to be a subject of abuse especially not a child.
This is a very serious issue and problem within our society today and needs major awareness and needs to be addressed and not swept under the carpet or ignored. The rate of suicide by young people and teenagers because of abuse is out of control!
CW Seymore will open wide the eyes of the reader to this problem and give hope and inspiration to those who have equally suffered the nightmare of abuse and will touch the hearts of all of us to stand up, take note, be responsible and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Two Thumbs Up! This Book Should Be On The Best Sellers List!"

"Shards of Glass" is written with intensity, detail and feeling. CW puts into words what many cannot begin to do because the childhood abuse and pain has been much too great for them. "Shards of Glass" will echo in the hearts and souls of its readers for a long time to come."

Joan T. Kloth-Zanard, Executive Director, Founder of PAS Intervention; Author of: "Where Did I Go Wrong? How Did I Miss the Signs?

"CW Seymore wrote a heartbreaking yet hopeful book. She witnessed extreme domestic violence and was the victim of unrelenting and unbearable child abuse. She sought safety by sleeping alone in the woods rather than in her own bedroom with her sisters. But was she ever safe from the emotional torture and mental cruelty? She sought salvation in faith and sports, attaining a sense of value and worth that was not offered in her home.
Seymore documented her life to bring awareness to the epidemic of abuse and to help others overcome the effects of trauma. Her writing gives voice to the hardships she endured and the emotions she experienced; victims of abuse often seek healing in reading others' stories.
"Shards of Glass" is beneficial to survivors and their support systems as a bold look at the reality of generational cycles of abuse and the need for long-term recovery."

"Shards of Glass" is a chilling and shocking account of horrific abuse, suffered and endured not only by CW Seymore, but also by her Mother and siblings, at the hands of her own Father.
This is a very well-written book; CW Seymore is a talented, gifted writer and storyteller with a strong and courageous spirit, who has shared her story with the hope of providing support; comfort and hope to other survivors of abuse. At times, the pain, torment and pain of remembering and writing down such dark memories of abuse, are very apparent, in her words. The author's strength, raw honesty and emotion make "Shards of Glass", a powerful and moving account of the truly frightening consequences of, and trauma inflicted by unchecked generational abuse.
"Shards of Glass" has an interesting and unusual structure, in that the story doesn't necessarily follow a time line. Rather than "chapters", this book is sectioned into "snapshots", in which memories of individual incidents are accounted, and also where the author describes living, and growing up, having to try and cope in such a dreadfully toxic environment. This structure is very effective, and works very well, though there is little respite, from the brutality and horror.
Whilst reading "Shards of Glass", I often felt my breathing and pulse quicken, as I became caught up in the intensity and power of CW Seymore's words. At times, I was left shaking my head, as if to try and deny the truth of what I had just read that a father, a husband, could deliberately inflict so much torture and horror on his own family. "Shards of Glass" leaves us with CW Seymore struggling, but finding some sense of freedom. An account of her struggle to grow, heal, overcome and bring to an end, this terrible cycle of abuse through her own inner strength, and also her faith, will appear in a sequel - "Shattered By Glass".
