Résumé :
A Review of Loving Me... I must begin by saying, that Loving Me is quite a difficult book to read and enjoy.

Biographie:
sadly it is a true story. Vicki Watkins brings us along on her extremely transparent and painful life journey filled with deep pain, neglect, verbal and sexual abuse and heartbreak.

Isaiah 61:3 - God will give a crown of beauty for ashes... Loving Me is a long journey of pain and abuse, but it is also a story that needs to be read.

You will also discover the value in having great Counselors in your life like LifeWay Counseling and Sandy M. The other thing you will find is the Love of God in the midst of the long journey, while she was in search of pe...
