Shayla - 2496

Beyond a book, SHAYLA is a calling and a movement dedicated to survivors of sexual abuse. This semi-autobiographical novel and explosive bombshell lifts the controversial veil on a long-held trauma and reveals all. Author Regina LaFrance draws from her direct childhood experience and holds nothing back in the telling of her story, SHAYLA. May the pages within speak to your heart… Inspired by real-life tragic events, SHAYLA is novelized to where only the names have been changed in this shattering account that takes on the persona of LaFrance as a child—when her nightmare started to unfold and escalate to unconscionable enormity. This heart-wrenching story spans to the time when young SHAYLA (LaFrance) was robbed of her youth, deflowered at the tender age of nine, when she was sexually attacked by the pedophile priest from her old village. By age 10, she became pregnant with his baby and was forced into an unfathomable, barbaric abortion, followed by a further gruesome burial of her aborted fetus, still at only 10, under the command and threat of her merciless priest. LaFrance’s tell-all book further speaks to the deep-seated wounds and trauma that have followed into her adult life as striving to reinvent herself and find emotional freedom. She has come a long way since leaving her native small village in Southwestern Europe. A place she called home until tragedy struck. Creating a new life for herself in America and trying to move forward, away from her haunted past of pain, shame and suffering… the writing of SHAYLA symbolizes a cathartic release for the author, having come full circle and turning the page on tragedy. Get ready for a straight portrayal of the events that happened when SHAYLA (LaFrance) was violently raped as a young girl by her pedophile priest. In the author’s real-life “fight for justice,” and as a bonus section at the back of the book, she further shares her Sworn Statement of the actual heinous events as they unfolded during her youth. SHAYLA is LaFrance’s effort to provide an outlook on hope for others who have suffered from sexual abuse. Passionate in her perseverance and resolution of this critical issue, she has made it her mission to help prevent the unthinkable from happening to more innocent children. With sensitivity to the alarming rate of more young victims being abused each year, a light needs to be shed on this tragic abuse epidemic. SHAYLA is LaFrance's torch and timely bearing as one of the “too many” who have suffered. And when one suffers, we all suffer. Her story is their story; where the truth is stranger than fiction that follows our precious young home, all too often. “It takes strength, courage and belief in one’s power to overcome and become greater than our darkness.” An incredible journey from trauma to finding peace, redemption and emotional freedom… SHAYLA is a must-read that reads like a movie!
