Reader Reviews
Two of my friends, Kathleen and Joyce co-wrote a book called Nina's Corner. I read it in less than 3 days because it is so intriguing. The story line is threaded with abuse in many forms, some women (and men) are so used to abuse that they never see it for what it really is because they have become numb from it. It is a sad day when someone will use abuse for their own sick pleasures, to overpower others or to use others for their own gain. This book is about a young girl, Nina, growing up as a child, living through abuse from her grandfather and later from her boyfriend, husband, etc... There are happy times, sad times, hard times, but it all fits into the scheme of life that you feel like you can relate to it. At least I do for the most part. The book has a happy-ending but it's not a fairy-tale life Nina leads. She just always was looking for The One, but she was looking in the wrong places. Love finally finds her, but can she ever trust again? Read the book and find out!
I know of child abuse, physical and mental abuse, it is a very ugly thing. One that usually keeps the victim(s) trapped in a world of silence from embarrassment and humiliation. It affects everyone with a heart.
I've always had this saying: To love is nothing, to be loved is something, but to love and be loved is everything. (Author unknown) This is my motto in life. Everyone needs to be loved, without love we are not whole. That is what this book is to me. Read it. It is really great.

******************
This book is truly an interesting read for anyone that may have been a victim of abuse, as well as those who were fortunate enough not to have gone through such an ordeal. I was captivated by the story from the beginning of Nina's journey all the way through to the end, and I found myself not wanting to put Nina's Corner down.
