Help Sara Niles on a Mission

I am Sara Niles.
I am Sara Niles, On a Mission to raise Awareness and Recognition of the damage done by dysfunction in families, the need for Intervention and Prevention, in order to Stop the effects of Domestic Violence in America.

I was almost a statistic of Domestic Violence, a homicide.  I, and my children, would have been a brief news article in a local paper 'Man Kills Wife, his five children, and himself', as is the case more often than people realize.

Domestic Violence in America has produced a Public Health Crisis that costs society billions of dollars, and families the lost of the lives of irreplacable family members. Dysfunction Kills, Domestic Violence Kills; Survival Costs, as I can attest from first hand experience.

Many years have passed since I was a victim of domestic violence. Because I escaped, I and my children survived, almost. The dysfunctional damage caused by children living in violence, leaves scars, and long-term consequences. I am on a mission to make a difference, and to raise awareness via my writing. It is because of the personal experiences of I and my children, as well as professoinal contact as a Domestic Violence Counselor, and Trainer, that impels me forward on this mission.

When I was 29 years old, I and my five children had to flee for our lives and disappear. Torn From the Inside Out is My Story, but it is more than that, it is an awakening call, as well as a tribute to the power of the human spirit under fire.  It is also a beacon that continuously draws attention to the need to end dysfunction and violence in families, because dysfunction breeds dysfunction, creating a generational pattern of negative behaviors and outcomes.


No product, no matter how good, will be discovered without marketing and exposure. Marketing for many well known bestsellers often cost millions, even moderate efforst cost thousands.  I have produced the product but need help with marketing.
The easiest way to help is to simply share one time through your social media platforms, of course, donations would be greatly appreciated as well.

I have spent the majority of my life embroiled in a mission to change human behavior for the better; from a childhood in which elderly relatives saved me from a life of neglect and abuse, to an adulthood they could not save me from. I spent almost 15 years in a violent and abusive marriage that ended with my disappearance with five small children, in 1987.

I wrote my personal memoir, Torn From the Inside Out, as the first step in a lifelong mission in the fight against The Three-Headed Monster: Childhood Trauma and Abuse, Substance Abuse and Addictions, and the closely related issue of Mental Illness. Every person and every family, will be touched by one of these major dysfunctions, whether it is via a friend, a family member, or because of tragic personal experience.

Torn From the Inside Out is my keystone work linking together a body of work. I am in desperate need of help in order to promote and market Torn From the Inside Out, in a highly competitive market. With the changing algorithms implicit in large companies, only books with high exposure can maintain high exposure; those without are hidden at the ‘bottom of the pile’, figuratively speaking. I need enough resources to organize and launch a simultaneous campaign that will move Torn From the Inside Out from the bottom of the pile.

Brief description of Torn From the Inside Out by Sara Niles
Amazon Digital: Torn From the Inside Out

During a cold, February thunderstorm, in the dark of night, Sara Niles fled for her life with her five children in tow, forced to disappear in order to stay alive. Torn From the Inside Out is a true story of extreme domestic violence and family dysfunction that begins with the heroic intervention of an 83 year-old uncle, when Sara Niles was a 3 1/2 year-old child, living in a perilous climate. Sara’s great-great Uncle Robert saves her, and takes her home to live on a beautiful, paradisiac farm to live with he, and his childless wife, Sara’s Aunt Molly. Set in the Rural South during a time of racial conflict, Sara begins her life racially mixed, half White and half Black, during the late 1950’s. The story fast forwards, as the wonderful life provided by Sara's aged uncle and aunt falls apart, leaving Sara vulnerable to the advances of Vietnam Veteran Thomas Niles, whom she marries when only sixteen years old. Niles is a violent and abusive man, given to sudden rages and fits of mood that were entirely foreign to Sara. True to Sara’s optimistic spirit, Sara attempts to help Thomas Niles conquer his demons, while hoping and wishing for better times, and enduring abuse, Sara eventually comes to the realization Thomas Niles is a killer, who promises to kill her and ‘every one of those children’, if she tried to leave him.
Torn From the Inside Out probes the depth of human behavior to the root of existence, as it emotionally traverses the soil of our hearts and souls. Human relationships from early childhood through adulthood, color our views of selves and the world around us. Our pasts are what make us what we are. It is the pain that is experienced through earlier life that makes us wise in hindsight; illuminating the past with new light. It is through the lens of life that Sara tells her story: “In the process of my evolution, I became a victim of domestic war, an emotional casualty for a major portion of my life, entwined, entrapped and emotionally involved, until I learned how to become free. Freedom has never been easily gained and has often come at high cost throughout history, but one thing I will always know is freedom is worth every fight, and all pain.” Sara Niles from Torn From the Inside Out In every life there is a timeless and unforgettable minute or day that will be forever etched into our mind’s memory. I have unforgettable memories that are so vivid that I see them in Technicolor, and I hear them with surround sound. Long after I am dead, I believe, I will remember. Two of those memories were the days of my escape to freedom…twice. I am the little girl who sat in the sand over fifty years ago, and this is my story. Thunder rattled the window- panes two stories high and lightning split the sky; it was as if the whole world was in turmoil that night. My nerves were keyed up as tight as piano strings, and in a sudden moment of stillness and silence it felt as though my heartbeat was amplified ten times over. He was over a hundred pounds greater than I, nearly a foot taller, and I knew he could move his muscled body into unbelievable sprints. Rain started falling in torrents, while the storm raged outside. I was not afraid of the storms of nature; it was the storm inside this night that I knew I might not survive.
