The Rev. Shirley Parram-Sims with the Alpha Daughters of Zion will be available to sign her book at 2 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 5) at the St. Charles Parish West Regional Library in Luling.
Parram-Sims, who grew up in a household with domestic violence, has outlined her experiences in a recently published book, “You Don’t Know My Story.”
Being an ordained minister, she said she just couldn’t ignore the domestic violence she saw in St. Charles Parish and started the Alpha Daughters of Zion nonprofit organization and shelter in Luling in 2008.
Reader response has been great with many saying they see themselves in Param-Sims’ situation as a child growing up in an abusive home. There was suffering, she said, but many also have found hope in her story if they want it.
For more information, contact Parram-Sims at (985) 308-0819.
