Living your best life after a shameful past is the heart of A Yucky Dialog, written by Iva Brassfield. She found herself in the hands of a 34-year-old neighbor at 14 years of age. It started with emotional manipulation, rape, and sexual exploitation during her freshman year of high school. Thirty-eight years later, she faced her demons. It was time to be healed, and she was ready to do the work. A Yucky Dialog written with raw truth represents hope and how to overcome the challenges of a distasteful (yucky) background, from a survivor to a thriver.
