It pulls readers into the shotgun houses and segregated world of mid twentieth century Kinston, North Carolina, where a young girl named Doris Love learns that the greatest dangers lurk behind her own front door.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This powerful story unfolds on two fronts. Externally, it captures the relentless indignities of Jim Crow life. Internally, it exposes a hidden war within the family, where a respected father conceals a monstrous betrayal. Seen through the eyes of Doris, a perceptive child who seeks truth in books and borrowed magazines, the memoir pieces together a childhood shattered by abuse and silence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More than a tale of trauma, it is a map of recovery. It chronicles how the act of writing became a lifeline, transforming personal agony into a tool for healing and advocacy. The author&#8217;s own journey from student to teacher to counselor mirrors this path, showing how breaking silence can break cycles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Breaking the Cycles of Pain: Soul Secrets<\/em> courageously challenges taboos that have long plagued the Black community, addressing incest, depression, and spiritual crisis with unwavering honesty. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of speaking one&#8217;s truth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The book is available for purchase now on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Breaking-Cycles-Pain-Soul-Secrets\/dp\/195945319X\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dr. Queen Shamala Bessie Davis Fayemi Smith is a retired educator and counselor whose life&#8217;s work has been dedicated to healing.
