Rising to the Dawn

OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Little Treasure Books, we strongly believe in the creativity and genuine talent of many writers whose voices would go unheard if it were not for the independent publisher. Twelve years ago, the company’s owner took a leap of faith, along with the economic risks necessary, to introduce new authors to those readers looking for books that offer hope, encouragement, and inspiration. We sincerely accept this responsibility, and remain dedicated and determined to give these gifted writers the opportunity to have their stories told.

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to publish books of integrity that speak to the hearts, minds, and souls of our readers . . . gently putting them in touch with their inner core, ultimately offering them a place of solace. . . a place where they can be who they are and at peace wherever they are along life’s journey.

OUR GOAL
It is our objective to remain selective in choosing the books we publish. In doing so, Little Treasure vows to uphold the highest of standards and produce only those books that will inspire, enrich, and leave readers with a positive message.

Rising to the Dawn: A Rape Survivor’s Journey Into Healing, edited by LaVerne C. Williams, is a tragic, yet heart-warming anthology that will touch both men and women who have been abused, or who have mentally or physically abused another. It is a testimony that no one who has been a victim of rape is alone; that they can heal and find solace. These poets are not only survivors, but through their creativity they have flourished and gone on to live successful, purposeful lives.

"Rising to the Dawn: A Rape Survivor's Journey Into Healing" is a compelling, tragic and heart-wrenching anthology of overwhelming significance to all individuals, male and female, who have been abused mentally or physically. A testimony that they are not alone."

Elizabeth Garzarelli, M.A., Psychologist
"Beneath the brutality that these words describe, shines the soul and strength of poets who are not only survivors, but through their creative expression have flourished. Anyone who has been a victim of rape will find solace in these words that articulate the inexpressible. Those who have been untouched by sex crimes will find new understanding."

Excerpt:

Freedom
She was no longer haunted
By the secret that captured her heart,
and suffocated her soul.
She was free.
Free from the pain of living.
Free from the fear of dying.
She is free.

HE WHO RAPES
Written by Lady Marie Cox

He looms in the shadows
of darkness and dream,
creeping about like some foul
untamed beast.
He suckles the sweetness
from new buds and flowers,
caring not what he leaves...
no, not in the least.

And he is the terse wrath
of a terrible fist,
and strikes at the heart
with a message of fear.
He is the searing breath
that lingers and whispers,
sharing old ugly secrets...
his lips to your ear.

He becomes every stranger
you pass on the street.
A man whose bold face
is a scar to the mind.
He is the heaviness
that tangles the senses...
the thorn once removed,
you can't leave behind.

He is the poison
that seeps into love,
changing its color,
its texture and shape.
No wound crawls deeper
through a woman's soul,
than reliving the horrors
and the violence of rape.

"Kaylee Myers writes in the hope that she can support and help other women who have been raped and mistreated."
