""I was called ugly, unwanted, unlovable-nobody's child. But God had another name for me: HIS.""

Sharon Spencer's life began with pain no child should carry-abuse, neglect, and abandonment that carved deep, invisible scars. For years, silence was her shield. But silence is not the end of her story.

In Nobody's Child, Sharon courageously breaks that silence. With raw honesty, original poetry, and faith-filled reflections, she invites readers into her journey from trauma to truth-showing how God's love can gather what life tried to scatter.

Inside, Sharon reveals:

The ache of maternal rejection and the abuse she endured. The coping lifelines that kept her alive-books, imagination, prayer. The transformation of wounds into wisdom and silence into a voice. The healing power of faith, love, and rediscovered self-worth.

More than a memoir, this is a poetic self-help companion for the abused and the voiceless-offering reflection prompts, Scripture, and gentle guidance for anyone navigating grief, shame, fear, or the long work of healing.

Whether you're walking through your own valley or standing beside someone who is, Sharon's testimony brings comfort and courage. Her life declares what yours can too: you are not forgotten, and you are never alone.

If Sharon can transform her pain into purpose, so can you.
