Touch is one of our most powerful senses. By it we are able to comfort, reassure and welcome. We can communicate with touch even without using sight or speech, and still make a deep impression. Even a baby understands the language of touch. But when someone touches another in an unclean way, particularly sexually, it communicates a disrespect of the soul. A sexual predator sets out to use the power of touch to diminish the sense of worth of another. He relentlessly ravages the victim, reducing him or her to a mere shell of what they once were, with a brokenness that no man can cure. Ravaged Relentlessly is a message to nullify the effects of sexual crime. The Lord knows that most victims won’t openly ask for help.

From the Author: "I started assembling this book as therapy for me to get through the grieving process. The more I got into the task at hand, the more I uncovered about my daughter and her illness. Suddenly, this project became a mission to not only tell Kristen’s story but to tell it in a way that may guide other parents onto a path of protecting their daughters and helping to eradicate the world of cervical cancer.
Another purpose of writing this story is to give five-year-old Jacob, whom Kristen loved and treated as a son, something he can read when he is old enough to understand just what a “brave chick” Kristen was….and how she loved and touched the lives of many in her twenty-three years.
The compassion and support of the doctors, nurses, medical staff, pharmacists, physical therapists, transporters and EMTs were unwavering throughout her illness. Everyone took part in Kristen’s battle like supporting soldiers. They encouraged us, hugged us, cried with us, ate meals with us, celebrated the small victories with us and ultimately grieved with us. They were guardian angels in Kristen’s year long journey and soldiers in her war.
Many were there to share tears and laughter, a late-night movie or just hold her hand. Her brother Eric overcame his hospital discomfort for his sister. Her sister Megan spent most of her summer at home to be with Kristen. Best girlfriend Chelsea and best friend Jeff, along with his young son Jacob fulfilled the role of comforter and caregiver."
From the Author: "This book is about abortion, but more specifically, about abortions sought due to a poor prenatal diagnosis or due to serious maternal health complications. This book contains 46 personal stories, each one from a woman who decided to interrupt a much-wanted and oftentimes much-planned pregnancy. There is very little societal support for parents who make this decision, which leaves most parents to deal with their sadness and grief alone.The purpose of the book is to share our stories in the hopes of helping other parents who have undergone a similar loss to feel less alone, less isolated, and less stigmatized. We hope to give a voice to all who have suffered a similar loss and to show that there are situations in which abortion is the most moral option.Although the focus of the book is to provide support to those who will make or have made a similar decision, we don't cast judgment on those who choose abortion for other reasons or those who choose to carry a pregnancy to term despite a poor prenatal diagnosis. We support all parents in choosing the path that is best for them. We support ALL choices."
