Alligator in the Ocean: Anina Swan's Story of Courage, Faith and Healing

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Jenny talks with survivor, child & women advocate, speaker & author Anina Swan as she shares her remarkable story of surviving childhood abuse and trauma from a respected member of the community, and how God has healed her. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." (Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV) Her family sought the truth, found courage, then chose to confront evil rather than run from it. In this inspirational true crime story, the dark double life of a seemingly respectable citizen who preyed upon defenseless children for nearly four decades is exposed. She experienced traumatic amnesia, but eventually confronted the man responsible. Anina wrote the book, "Alligator in the Ocean" which shares her true story of survival and triumph over the trauma inflicted. Her story encourages others with similar experiences to persevere through their crisis and live a life filled with peace, strength, wisdom, and adventure. All are gifts from God's overflowing love. Her website is alligatorintheocean.com. You can find her blog there along with her book "Alligator in the Ocean: one family's fight to stop a serial predator and their determination to heal" online and in stores.
