AFTER THE PEARL HARBOR ATTACK, THE PHILIPPINE SKY WAS SUDDENLY RIPPED APART BY THE SCREAM OF JAPANESE BOMBS. I DID NOT KNOW THAT IN TIME I TOO, WOULD BE SCREAMING.“My name is Ligaya. Our parish priest compared me to a shepherdess who tended flocks of children; the elderly, polite businessmen; and persons of a spiritual ilk. I guess that made me the “good girl.” My darling big sister, Glory, was considered the “naughty one.” She is feisty and flirtatious and planning a forbidden tryst with her man.Until now, my life was satisfactory and predictable, governed by strict customs and mores, the Filipino way. Raul and I were inseparable playmates and confidantes, betrothed to each other as children. We grew to love each other over time. “Luscious Liling” he called me in his tender baritone. We are “saving ourselves” for our wedding night. The entire village is looking forward to our upcoming nuptials, sure to break the monotony of rice and tobacco farming.Then I saw a flash of red in the banana grove. I heard foreign whisperings carried within an envelope of darkness. I felt the pain of a brutal …something so agonizingly heinous, I cannot even speak of it.World War II. Where are the Japanese enemy? What else in my life will be ripped apart?***“Altogether, Dark on the Inside is a novel about strong people who have to overcome tragedy to create better lives for themselves. It is a book to put on the shelf beside modern classics like The Color Purple and The Joy Luck Club that also show people dealing with issues of war, racial prejudice, domestic violence, and ultimately, the hope that can spring from times of trauma.”— Tyler R. Tichelaar, PhD and award-winning author of When Teddy Came to Town

“A stirring account of a hard life and hard work.” – Kirkus Reviews, First edition\n“You find yourself rooting for her the whole way. All the while, she’s rooting for you too.” – Melinda, Amazon Reviews\nThe Girl in Your Wallet is a brave and honest memoir. An intimate, raw account of a damaged young woman whose seemingly wasted life is on a downward spiral until she encounters God in a big way, this is authentic storytelling at its best.\nIf anyone had a reason to fail, Teresa had it. Attempting to numb emotional pain at virtually any cost, her life of abuse and abandonment set her on a path to addiction, jail, and countless damaging relationships. Her journey to recovery is a raw and candid look into the life of an addict and the path she takes from utter hopelessness to owner of a multi-million-dollar corporation.\nInitially written to reach out to incarcerated women, the messages in The Girl in Your Wallet appeal to a much broader audience. Anyone wanting to heal their trauma and build self-esteem can benefit from this candid, caring biography. Teresa helps readers learn how to identify their origins of self-sabotage and to stop the images of their worst failures, most humiliating experiences, and biggest regrets that play an endless, self-defeating loop in their minds. Moreover, she candidly shares every step (and misstep) she experienced with a level of honesty seldom seen in print.\nThe Girl in Your Wallet is the enhanced second edition of Teresa Nickell’s popular first book. Added to this version are workbook-style questions for the reader’s self-reflection, with space for journaling. As such, this edition can also be used for instruction, classes, and workshops.
