Episode 344 - Regina LaFrance - Author of Shayla - Rescuing the inner child
AUTHOR
Author REGINA LAFRANCE has come a long way since her native homeland, a small village in Portugal. A place she called home until tragedy struck. Her semi-autographical novel, SHAYLA, is a depiction of what happened and draws from her direct experience—deep-rooted wounds and trauma that has followed her into adulthood.
SHAYLA is Regina’s sharing, and hope, for others who have been molested and suffered from abuse. Passionate in her perseverance and resolve of this issue, Regina speaks to the realities of child sexual abuse—escalating at an alarming rate. Her intention for writing this book is to increase awareness, and her public outcry, to parents raising children; in her mission to identify when a child is in fear of speaking up. And to prevent the unthinkable from happening to our precious young and innocent.
Shayla’s concept of “play” by any youthful standard was about to be forever shattered.
Her predator would force her to do her duty, and the unthinkable. Too young, too weak, too late... Her chastity taken away from her, she was out for revenge. Shayla knew what she had to do next.
She would run away from her haunted past. Until it caught up with her future.
Inspired by real events, this incredible story could have been prevented... if only her parents would have listened.
