A Woman Denied... The Early Years

Aug. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Hectic August month as usual....

We are faced with a very important day and Holiday for all the women in the world... Women's Day.

Let's celebrate this day with pride and humility, and never ever forget the struggle a Woman has gone through over the centuries to be viewed and respected as an equal to man both in intellect and physical prowess. Let's occupy a pride of place in this modern world with wisdom, knowing that the freedoms we enjoy to-day are as a result of sweat and blood etched in the hearts of those who sacrificed for all of us.

With that, let me take this opportunity to announce my up-coming book. It is a biography of one beautiful woman called Raymond. Her father had always wanted a boy. With two little girls in the house, he had reason to yearn for a boy. When Raymond came, all wishes and hopes, and the pride and joy were shattered as she came with mixed gender. Neither could the baby be a boy or a girl... but subsequent domination from an abusive and drunkard father saw that the baby would lead a life as a boy. Needles to say, it put paid to Raymond's mother, Evelyn, to raise a happy and healthy baby... as simply a baby she loved.

Coming out next week on Amazon.com, A Woman Denied... is a tear-jerking account of this wonderful and gifted child as she grows through life in the 70s and 80s. Experience the hurt and the abuses she had gone through as all undeniable signs of womanhood surface... and at the same time think that there are hundreds, possibly thousands, of people like Raymond who we keep denying their true identities and existence. For Raymond, it was not a matter of choosing a specific gender - it was a fight to live life to the next day as she was denied to be a woman.

I had known Raymond personally, and was always troubled by the way the world treated her. The result is this account of her life.

In keeping with the spirit of Women's Month, take an opportunity to buy this book and read this fascinating yet sad and touching story of this denied woman.  And whatever you do, wherever you are, promise not to ever treat another human being the way YOU would never wish to be treated. Whether you like them or not, understand and approve of their lifestyle or not, treat everybody with respect. As HARDCORE Christians often say: the body is the temple of the Lord (Yet they are the first to criticize and hate). So respect the Lord as all people are IMAGES of God.  All people are special and beautiful in their own ways... so love and love lots.

Have a blessed and wonderful Women's Day and Women's Month.

And REMEMBER, laugh and love more and hate a little.

Till next time, keep the love up.
