Edna Sailor: Turning Trauma into Triumph with 'Alfalfa Girl'
Protecting children- that's what we want to do. In my presentation I talk about, I always say I'm old enough to have gone to the bathroom in an outdoor toilet, and one of my worst experiences happened in an outdoor toilet, and the man came into the toilet and the crime happened.
Meet Edna Sailor, a remarkable woman from North Dakota who has turned her harrowing past into a beacon of hope. At 71, Edna published her first novel, 'Alfalfa Girl; the Path from Childhood Molestation to Soul', a fictional tale deeply rooted in real-life experiences of abuse. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Edna opens up about her journey from being a child abuse survivor to becoming an author and advocate for others facing similar battles.

Edna's story is one of resilience and determination, showing how therapy and self-care can play crucial roles in healing. She talks candidly about the importance of protecting children and standing up for survivors, emphasizing that every incident in her book is based on true stories she witnessed or heard firsthand.
