This book is based on a true story of the life of a child who became the victim of cruel
circumstances that led to years of rejection, pain, heartache and abuse. Her blue eyes saw
more in her young life, than most see in a lifetime. She felt she would always be a product
of her past and could never see any way to a brighter future. Shame and disgrace had
taken a toll in her young life, heart and soul. She had lost all hope from the pain and
struggles at such a tender young age that she contemplated suicide on many occasions.
Her life seemed to be spiraling down a slippery slope of no return. Each day she stared in
a mirror at a pale reflection of emptiness that gave her no reason to live or have hope for
a brighter tomorrow. Her heart wrenching home situation of abuse, lack of love, insecurity
and turmoil drove her into a deep anger that almost destroyed her life. Her world was
shaken and turned upside down and she felt there was no one she could turn to for help
or advice. Yet, something deep inside continually nudged her along the way to continue
her fight for survival. It took an extreme amount of energy to push the mess of life and
the tears of rejection and abuse out of sight in order to maintain her sanity. The longing
in Joyces tender heart for a better tomorrow was a driving force that would keep her from
abandoning all hope. Pain Through A Childs Eyes, is a story that will touch the very core
of your heart and bring tears to your eyes, as you feel in your own heart the pain her
blue eyes and heart encountered.

About the Author
Joyce Turner has a driving force of passion to help others see where they can be rather than where they have been. Her desire is to see people set free
from their pains of abuse. The world had marked her as a child without a future and some may say that about you. However, God stepped into her upside
down world and turned her life and world right-side-up and He will do the same for you. She read where God used a donkey to talk to a man, and changed
the course of his life. (Numbers 22:22-23 nkjv). Joyce realized if God could use a dumb donkey to change the life of one man, then why could
He not change her circumstance and use her.
Joyce’s pains and yesterday’s sorrows became a stepping stone for a better life personally and in Christ. She rose above the circumstances
that tormented her for years and stepped into a future of blessings that she would have never dreamed could happen in her lifetime. God has restored
many times over what was lacking or robbed from her in her childhood and teenage years. He said in His Word He would restore what the canker-worm
(locust) had destroyed. (Joel 2:25 nkjv) She is a witness that God can and will restore every place in your life that has been broken, if you will not
give up, but only believe.
Against all worldly odds, she rose out of a life of condemnation, negativity, abuse and rejection. What the world meant for evil, God used for His good,
Joyce is a published writer who uses her gifts to bring healing to a hurting world.
