‘Finding Grace’: One Woman’s Struggle Through Sexual Abuse

Print |

O'Fallon, IL, February 10, 2010 — Forgiveness is generally a difficult task. However, it becomes more difficult in correlation with the amount of pain caused. Crystal Hultquist’s “Finding Grace” chronicles her struggles with misused trust and sexual abuse.

Hultquist recounts her haunting past in which she was continuously assaulted by her one-time “friend,” a Catholic priest. She explains the turmoil that arose with being mistreated by her most trusted confidant in a setting built on providing peace and love, not fear and pain. Hultquist’s struggles were so severe that she was pushed to the edge of suicide and hospitalized in a psychiatric treatment facility.

“Finding Grace” also follows Hultquist’s journey to recovery. She is aided by a number of “spiritual mothers,” such as coaches, counselors, teachers, nurses and doctors. Hultquist credits these women with helping transform her into the strong, confident woman she is today. Hultquist’s growth even gave her the strength to forgive the one person who caused her the greatest anguish.

“Finding Grace” is a spiritual account of not only overcoming exploitation, but also gathering the strength to exonerate the source of all pain. Hultquist’s story does much more than inspire readers, it teaches them to become better people.
