Finding Grace
About the book
A journey of tragedy and triumph
Grace clenched her newborn close to her chest as sobs wracked her frail body. She stood at the edge of a dark rooftop; the lure of death sweeter than life itself. She could see no way out, not just for her, but for her baby as well…
Finding Grace is a heart-wrenching story of an Indian girl whose childhood is shattered by abuse and splintered by evil. Paralyzed with fear, her screams are silenced by the religious ironclad dictates of shame and honor. Can Grace overcome her tragic past and cultural disgrace? Will she ever claw her way out of her nightmare and maybe, one day, even find forgiveness and redemption?
Survivors experience a certain level of trauma, hindering them from living their fullest life. Most victims hide behind guilt and shame, some fill their emptiness with addictions………
This book is a guiding tool for parents, grandparents, teachers, pastors, youth group leaders, teenagers, guardians, and survivors to understand the ways in which abuse most often occurs, and to shed light on the signs and indications of abuse. It is to encourage, to start healthy conversations, in order to prevent unforeseen trauma and drama.
Join Grace Manchala in her sweeping memoir as she gives you a first-hand account of the God who embraced her pain and pursued her into her deepest sorrow. Experience the powerful love of the God who transformed a woman once crushed and fragmented into a woman fearless and unstoppable.
A Fight to stop sexual abuse and help survivors and be restored to their destined glory.

Psychological and Behavioral Clues Being able to recognize the psychological and emotional consequences of human trafficking can also be helpful in identifying victims. Victims often: · Develop general feelings of helplessness, shame, guilt, self-blame, and humiliation; · Suffer from shock and denial, or display symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias, panic attacks, anxiety, and depression; · Suffer from sleep or eating disorders; · Become addicted to drugs and/or alcohol as a way to cope with or “escape” their situation, or as a method of control used by their traffickers; · Become emotionally numb, detached, and disassociated from the physical and psychological trauma and display “flat affect”; or · Experience “trauma bonding” with the trafficker, positively identifying with the trafficker and believing that, despite repeated abuse, the trafficker is a loving boyfriend, spouse, or parent.
Human Trafficking is happening in every continent in the world. In the United States, major cities in Texas, Florida, New York and California, see human trafficking in higher numbers than other cities. Human trafficking is both a domestic and global crime, with victims trafficked within their own country, to neighboring countries and between continents. Victims can vary from different age groups and different gender and people group. Women and children are often used for sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, beauty industry. Men are more likely to be used for forced labor apart from sexual exploitation, organ trafficking. One in five victims of human trafficking are children.
