SILVER SPRING, Md. - Washingtoner -- Licensed social worker, holistic psychotherapist, and interfaith minister Santa Molina-Marshall has released her debut book, titled Running Through Darkness: Memoir of a Spiritual Warrior is now available on Amazon. This 264-page publication is a moving account of Ms. Molina-Marshall's own story of healing and transformation after unfathomable adversity.

Victims of sexual violence—whether experienced in childhood or adulthood—often feel 'broken' and alone in their suffering. It's so common for them to feel alienated from the world around them, feeling like no one can really know the pain they endure every day, having to live with the memories of their innocence being ripped from them.
