The Inspiration for the Beneath the Scar Movie! Samantha Nicole Allen is the beautiful Mississippi debutante and daughter of one of the town's most notable preachers. Who would ever think that she would find herself entangled in a trap that has the potential to cause her to lose her confidence, beauty, and more tragically, her life? Samantha's journey is reflective of the life of so many individuals who find themselves incapable of escaping the acts of domestic abuse. In the midst of her own trials, Samantha is, awakened by the despair, tragedies, and strength of others who endured abuse. Samantha's story is, told through her personal lens, and demonstrates how quickly, abuse can escalate, from unnoticeably, subtle to extremely severe. Premises and Reflections within the book were, written to challenge others to consider the impact that domestic violence has on its victim, the victim's family and friends, as well as complete strangers. The sincere hope is that Beneath the Scar: Rise to Healing will spur groups of individuals to meet and discuss the epidemic of domestic violence and work to develop viable solutions to save lives and give victims another chance.
