"From Victim to Victory" offers a captivating snapshot of what it was like to grow up in the 1950s as part of a German immigrant family in a small Canadian community. Margarete Ledwez' story, however, is laced with a dark undercurrent. As a child, Dyslexia complicated her school days, while her nights were filled with stomach-churning fear of a father who sexually abused her. Without consciously realizing it, she banished these nighttime episodes from her memory. As an adult, while raising her own three children, she was beset by frightening "triggers" and haunted by nightmares without understanding why. Only through the strength of her two most important relationships-her marriage to Harry, and her faith in God-was she able to unlock past memories and discover that the only way through the fear and pain depended on her willingness to forgive. This book was written in part as a commitment to seeking closure and healing, but also to give hope to others who are, or have been, sexually abused-and to encourage them to begin their own healing journey. Margarete Ledwez is a successful author whose work includes a trilogy of young adult mystery/adventure books set in her hometown of Niagara Falls.
