Set Me Free (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798250226394)

There are some stories that take years to speak.

In Set Me Free, Angel Gates shares a deeply personal journey through childhood trauma, emotional neglect, intimate partner sexual coercion, and spiritual manipulation-and the quiet unraveling that followed. With honesty and restraint, she reflects on how early wounds and misplaced loyalty shaped her understanding of love, faith, and identity.

This is not a story of accusation.
It is a story of awakening.

For years, silence felt safer than truth. Faith felt confusing. Endurance felt like strength. But beneath the surface, her body, conscience, and spirit were telling a different story.

In these pages, Angel examines:

- The lasting impact of childhood abuse
- How emotional absence shapes adult relationships
- The subtle dynamics of sexual coercion
- The misuse of scripture to justify control
- The cost of ignoring discernment
- And the courage it takes to choose peace

Set Me Free is for the woman who has ever:

Stayed longer than she had peace
Confused endurance with love
Doubted her own voice
Or wondered where God was in the middle of her pain

This memoir does not promise easy answers. It offers something steadier: truth.

Because freedom does not begin with perfection.
It begins with honesty.
