  About Author Anne-Marie

​Anne-Marie Courtemanche was born and raised in Northern Ontario. She moved to Montreal, Quebec in 1975 to escape and restart her life. Here, she married and raised three beautiful children. She is proud to say she has been a dedicated nurse’s aide and loving caregiver for twenty years and presently works at Lachute Hospital. 
Anne-Marie is a compassionate person who will find a way to love and care for others no matter the cost. Written straight from the heart and deep within her soul, Where Are You Mom? Touched By Evil is her first book. After holding on to her ugly secrets for decades, eventually her emotions, physical exhaustion and frustration became too heavy of a burden to carry. She has finally reached the perfect time to tell her story. The neglect and sexual, physical and mental abuse she endured at a young age led her down a path of trauma but she is a survivor. Writing this book is one of her greatest accomplishments and she prays her story will give courage and strength to other victims as they find their voices and regain the lives they were robbed.

À propos du auteur Anne-Marie
​

​L'abus sexuel, la violence domestique, la prison, l'alcoolisme - Anne-Marie Courtemanche les a tous vécu et la plupart avant l'âge de quinze ans. Dans Maman, où es-tu ? elle partage son cheminement tissant ensemble une histoire de perte, de douleur, de courage et transformation. Ce livre contient des thèmes pour adultes au sujet de la négligence, d'abus sexuels, de violence domestique, de traumatismes, de la grossesse chez les adolescentes, des cruautés de l'adoption, de tromperie et de la manipulation. Elle partage comment ces expériences ont affectés sa vie. Ce livre partage tous les détails de son enfance traumatisante. Une mémoire émotionnelle et bouleversante d'amour et de survie. Les souvenirs déchirants d'une fille secouée par la brutalité et la réalité d'une innocence volée un cercle familial brisé. Ce livre démontre que la vie n'est pas définie par les frontières placées autour de nous par les agresseurs et les manipulateurs, mais par la profondeur de l'amour dans son coeur. Très difficile à croire, mais c'est une histoire vrai qui jaillit du Canada.
