Beautiful Tragedy

Oretta C. Timmons has faced many demons in her life, from sexual abuse to living a life on the fringes of society, flirting with danger, stripping and prostitution, as her pitiful life seemed destined to follow a path of self-destruction and hopelessness.Sexually molested by multiple men from within her own family, while still a child, Oretta found no support from those who should have been there to protect her and a mixture of love and shame prevented her from telling the truth.Physically and mentally damaged, she took the only course she believed that was left to her, living her life on her own terms, teetering ever closer to the edge, while providing a façade of happiness to anyone who met her.It was a reconnection with God that ultimately saved her, helped her to overcome the pain and eventually reach out to encourage others, even while she was broken herself. Her story is told here, in A Beautiful Tragedy, where she shares her life with you, to help you overcome your own personal demons and find your own enlightened path.Harrowing in places and difficult to read in others, A Beautiful Tragedy is nonetheless a triumph of love and faith over pain and suffering.
