At some point, most people have felt the unfair pain that life sometimes brings. Because pain is individual to the person who feels it, we sometimes forget that some have experienced pain at deeper levels than we could ever imagine. Treading Water is an up close and personal look at the horrors that exist in so many homes and affects the lives of children whose stories may never be told. In this compelling memoir, Author LT Pridgen shares in vivid detail her passage through life’s most damaging munitions of childhood sexual trauma, abandonment, and sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and how these events shaped her self-esteem and self-worth. Pridgen chronicles the vicious cycle of cruelty and abuse in one of the most gripping narratives ever told. Grab your Kleenex as she fights the degradation and untruths forced upon her throughout her childhood. You will silently cheer as she heals from the victimization and becomes a survivor. Finally, LT Pridgen will restore your faith in the resiliency of the human spirit as she transcends to the warrior who has made it her life’s mission to go back and help save others. Treading Water is the vehicle in which the message is delivered that despite what occurs in life you only have two choices, you can either sink or swim.

Treading Water From Survivor to Warrior LT Pridgen 9781545335031 Books Reviews
- Recently, a dear friend confided to me that she continues to struggle with the trauma of having been raped by a very close relative while she was a young girl. Her every day seems dark, she says. She can't seem to keep a clear view of all of her aspirations and potential. Even after she has witnessed the punishment or her assailant, even after she has been counseled by a therapist for years, her vision is often blurry if not completely obscured. Her sadness and anger and frustration are exhausting, she says. She just wants to live beyond the shadows cast by the dark clouds of her damned past.
I believe her.
Listening to her tell me about her constant fumbling in the darkness, and eager to offer her some encouragement, I immediately thought to quote an adage at her... But then I thought better. "I have a book to give you," I told her. Perhaps surprised not to hear a platitude from me, she looked relieved; she nodded; she said, "Ok, I want to read a book."
I gave her this book written by L.T. Pridgen. I warned her, though, to brace herself for the details of so much abuse and deprivation, despair and exasperation... But I let her know that if she would read through the darkness, she would see that there is, yet, light.
Just this Monday, the screen of my phone lit up with a brief and simple message "Thanks for my book." My young friend is right This is her book. Although L.T. Pridgen dared write the words on paper, her personal narrative--about her determination, even while in the depths of the shadows, to dissipate the dark clouds--will be familiar and familial to many survivors. I hope that they who read will glimpse a lit path to brighter days.
Indeed, may every reader see the light. And may every survivor become a warrior! - This book is a must read!!!!
It's an easy and flowing read to say the least. It makes you feel like you are right there going through what the writer experienced. I would also call this s self- help book and it would be an awesome gift for someone you know who maybe going through and you just don't know what to say to them. It also continues to bring awareness and can help give a voice to the voiceless.
KUDOS to the author and well done!!!! - wow! I finished reading your book last night and it has left me haunted. I sat curled up with a box of tissues and a warm blankie just like TiTi told me to do. I cried for the little girl who was hurt so bad by someone who should be nothing but loving to her. I cried for your mom & brother and your son. I cheered for you as you began to come to a place of healing. Thank you for sharing your story and the story of so many children who cannot tell their own stories yet. Your courage to lay it all out on the table blew me away. You are a true warrior and I thank you.
- I just want to say job well done and thank you for sharing your story. I started off crying and mad because I too was molested at a young age. I couldn't phantom to speak up until I was 30. So I applaud you and wish you nothing but success with your book and your organization to help others that afraid to speak up.
- Starting the book, i could not stop reading it. There are so many lessons to be learnt from this remarkable woman! She is to be respected for her honesty and courage in relating the events in her life. I was happy to see her emerge a winner in life.
- This review is long overdue! To witness the strength and perseverance of the survivor turned Warrior through the pages of this book made me feel as though I was right there alongside of her. There were moments when I had to grab my tissue because of being upset and frustrated with the circumstances this young woman had to endure. Treading Water From Survivor to Warrior is a must read for anyone who think that they cannot survive the impossible, think again, you now have an example of what a survivor really means!
- This lady is a true marvel. I've known her story from the very start of our friendship. I've learned so much, and continue to, from her.
Read it, tell someone else about it. You never know who may need this to help come out of the darkness. - I sat down and once I started reading I couldn't stop. I suffered being violated but not to this extent. God Bless this Warrior for telling her story with courage and rawness. Thank you!
