Lisa Gray is a licensed mental health counselor, minister, author, and speaker. She travels extensively speaking at women's conferences, jails, and seminars to bring awareness to the complex and emotional topic of sexual abuse.
"They
Don't Tell - Child Abuse: A Mother's Perspective" is her
powerful book especially for mothers who have to deal with the
pain, hurt, shame, and guilt that comes with discovering that their
child had been sexually abused.
"Mom,
if I had something to tell you, would you be a mom or would you be
a friend?" Those words are forever etched into Lisa's mind when her
16-year-old daughter finally told Lisa that her stepfather had been

This
is the day Lisa's life changed forever and began a process of
dealing with the shock, pain, guilt and shame surrounding the
abuse. She is passionate about bringing this awareness to
parents, teachers, counselors, and anyone who works with children
whose innocence was stolen. She is an advocate for these
women and to help bring the abusers to justice.
