Can You See Yourself In My Mirror

When you are young, being violated by someone leaves many hidden wounds– especially if it is by someone you trusted. You can spend a long time blaming yourself for things you were not old enough to really understand; and an even longer time learning to trust again. Can You See Yourself In My Mirror is the real life poetic journey of , author, P. Utley Bradford. From the innocence of a young neighborhood girl who compromised her virtue in the poem “Love Took A Ride” to the anger of a teenager raped in “The 3 I Thought I Knew”, each poem is written in the voice of the child, the young girl, and by the woman. Along the way you will poetically experience the mistakes of motherhood and the recklessness of womanhood. You will feel the doubts of self image and self esteem. “Can You See Yourself In My Mirror” is not just a book, it is a ministry. In sharing her story, P. Utley Bradford has turned the heartache of her personal experiences into a message of hope to other young girls– that there is nothing too hard for God; and no sin too deep from which you cannot be lifted up and loved by Him.
