Thorns of A Rose: Pain to Purpose

Can you imagine being a helpless child, witnessing your murder continuously over and over, but your body is present in reality?

Thorns of A Rose is a Memoir about the life of Khalilah Purnell. It serves as a narration of the road the author had to travel on her journey from Pain to purpose, from being molested, and physically abused by her mother's boyfriend from 8-12 years of age, the drug addiction of her mother, and being abandoned by her mother at a young age, as her mother chose drugs and a man over her children. By 5th grade, Khalilah knew everything there is to know about sex with someone of the opposite sex. She endured things no child ever should have to experience.
