What happens when the mind protects a child by hiding the truth… and reveals it only when she is finally strong enough to survive it?
In The Autumn Swing, Gretchen E. Martin shares her history of childhood sexual abuse that began before she had words, before memory made sense, and without anyone to protect her. Through the voice of her inner child, “Gem,” and the help of the woman she grew into, Gretchen invites readers into the hidden world of early childhood sexual trauma, dissociation, and the long courageous journey back to wholeness.
Written with tenderness, honesty, and spiritual depth, The Autumn Swing speaks to survivors, those who love them, and anyone who wants to understand how healing happens when the body remembers, the soul speaks, and God walks with us through the long path from pain to peace.
“Every survivor and caregiver needs this book. It’s more than a story of rising from the ashes of sexual abuse. It’s an invitation to heal alongside the author, and a testimony to the power of work and faith. If I could put this book in the hands of every survivor of sexual abuse, and every parent, pastor, counselor and caregiver, I would.” Rev. Sam Wilde
Bio: Gretchen Martin is more than a survivor. She’s a wife, mother, and grandmother. She’s a Christian, and an active member of her church and community. Now, she’s also the author of this book about her successful journey of healing and fully living her life beyond childhood sexual abuse.
