Every little girl loves to be her daddy's little girl, and every little boy loves to be his daddy's "big man," but what does that entail for Nessa and Tears in Juanita Beverley-Towns', "From the Hands of My Hero?"
Domestic Violence at the hands of a relative or someone familial can be the worse traumatic experience when a little girl has been sexually violated, but no matter whose hands the abuse is suffered, it has lasting effects that alter lives forever. Children have no idea what to do with abuse of any kind, so they tuck it away and continue to love their abuser, moving on with their lives doing things to help them forget or remember depending on where they find themselves. Vanessa was no different; she pursued her musical career and made strides, but right beneath the surface lived the memories and the life-changing episodes that have become the backdrop of her life's story.
To be like his father was something Tears struggled with due to not having met the man, so he decided to embrace who he really was with a legal change of his name and his persona. Truth is, Tears would rather be like his mother than to be like the father he never knew.What will Vanessa do to come to terms with and deal with her abuse from her past to change her future? Will Tears' choice of lifestyle be his complete undoing? They have both lived through trauma and abuse, but does it mean it has made them stronger?
