What happens in our house, stays in our house For Rose Arrington and her siblings, this philosophy plagued their lives and terrorized their childhood. At only 5 years old, Rose was molested and abused by her mother's common law husband. Her innocence taken away at such an early age, and with her mother's consent. The sexual abuse would go on to last for over 20 years, accompanied by beatings, forced abortions and sadistic manipulations that would be enough to break any person. But Rose Arrington is a survivor Her faith and strength has helped her write down her horrific upbringing, as a means of healing and hopefully encouragement for other victims of child sexual abuse. Rose Arrington refuses to remain silent any longer.
