Patricia McKnight's Inspirational "My Justice" Called A Book Of Miracles

NEW YORK - June 13, 2013 - PRLog -- It takes a great deal of courage to break the binds of childhood and or domestic partner abuse that impacts an incredible amount of individuals around the world. And it takes an even greater amount of courage to stand up for others who are still abused and try to empower these individuals to break the chains that confine them. "My Justice" written by Patricia McKnight not only serves as a highly regarded tell-all of abuse that provides insight on how to obtain freedom, but Ms. McKnight's powerful story has become a call-to-arms against abuse, and has become a humble, yet sustainable movement that has reached women and men abused around the world. In it's capacity as a catalyst for change, "My Justice" has been called a book of miracles for it has provided a path for others who seek freedom. From abused to champion and defender of those now abused, "My Justice" has now become required reading at the collegiate level, including at La Sierra University.

‘My Justice' is a horrifying, but excellently written autobiography about the sadistic thirty plus years survived by one local woman who grew up within the small community of Freeburg, Illinois. Located just 40 miles outside of St. Louis; Author Patricia A. McKnight shares a life lived in hell, and how she became free.

Patricia A. McKnight, known as ‘Trish' to those who chat with her almost daily, has endured a life that most of us cannot imagine, but to her it was just seen as ‘normal'. She knows the path many victims of these crimes follow in the aftermath of being violated. In her drive to better help us understand she is making all of us aware and hoping to be just one of the voices in the beginning of change.

Trish commented, "The purpose for publishing ‘My Justice' was a need to explain and apologize to my children for the many broken repeated violent relationships I engaged in, which have left their own wounds. The bitter truth is there was never any legal form of justice to come from all the years, but I needed to release myself from the hand covering my mouth and holding me captive in dysfunctions and madness all these decades; this is how and why I needed to publish this story."

Critics and advocates alike have shared universal praise for Ms. McKnight and her indefatigable and heroic effort to help others.

Ms. Debra Mize, Prevention Coordinator & Educator for Violence Prevention Center of Southwestern Illinois said, "This powerful story will rock the moral foundations of everyone who reads. Patricia A. McKnight; Author/Advocate/Speaker, now founder of Butterfly Dreams Abuse Recovery & Talk Radio Programming, begins her story at just five years old as a happy little girl filled with excitement, but the moment she open's the door to the next thirty plus years of her life, everything you thought you knew about the evils lurking within our homes will be forever changed."

Dr. Brenda Joyce Orozco Markert-Green: Principle of Afterglow Counseling, Mediation & Family Services, Trainer for American Association for Marriage & Family Therapy, Educator and Adjunct Faculty Board Member of La Sierra University, located in Riverside, California is now using "My Justice" as REQUIRED READING for her students in the field of therapy and family counseling. Dr. Marert-Green added, "My family therapy students are required not only to read this autobiography, they are also required to complete an exam and classroom discussion on what they absorbed and felt; what can they take forward as therapist to increase their senses, skills and expertise as counselors, and to enhance their abilities to better help their clients. This story leaves a deep, lasting impression on my students, which I've seen first hand. It truly changes how we see the lives of those around us and how the victims are left so shattered by these acts of viciousness."

Mr. Peter Thomas Senese: Best Selling Geo-Political Thriller Author and Founder of I CARE Foundation, said, Ms. McKnight is a hero and a conqueror over abuse, as "My Justice" is indeed a book of miracles for not only what unfolded in Trish's life, but for what has come out of the publication of this brilliantly written story I wish she never had the capacity to write: a national call-to-arms for those who seek freedom! And for all who Trish has helped - and there have been many - due to the seed that is 'My Justice', there is no question that Patricia McKnight has written a book of miracles. ‘My Justice' sits in a very special area in my home - and next to ‘Unbowed' by Noble Prize writer and friend, Wangari Maathai - as ‘My Justice' has had that significant an impact on my life and my own call-to-arms to protect innocent children from abuse."

Ms. Linda Walcher: Educator in the Fayetteville & Freeburg, Illinois school system now a leading member in the Illinois Retired Teachers Association and mentor for many college students has this to share about ‘My Justice' and the little girl she once had as a student, ‘As an educator, I first met Ms. McKnight when she entered my fourth grade class. Being fresh out of college and a very young teacher then; she was one of my first students. In her bright blue eyes I saw just a happy, beautiful little girl. As I moved on to continue my long time career in the same school system she attended, I truly had no clue as to the life I could have saved in that child. It is only in the last few years, since first reading the details of her endured beatings and sadistic crimes of her step-father, that I have reached out and fully support every effort she puts forth on a daily basis to use her learned and lived knowledge to try and help many others. As an active member in the Retired Teachers Association and with the mentoring of upcoming educators now in college, there is not enough I can say about how this book has changed my entire thinking process. ‘My Justice' is a book which I highly recommend for anyone who spends time with children.'
