Other Side

The “Other Side” is a 100% honest and true story about my life, Kim Cottrell.

The initial chapters may seem horrific (abandonment, childhood molestation, and physical abuse); you may shed a tear or two for how I grew up. You may even get angry at the people who raised me.

The middle chapters move into how I initially became because of my childhood. How I became a product of my environment, living a life of complete self-destruction. I couldn’t stand being in my own skin, I contemplated suicide; trying to figure out how I could end my life without it looking like suicide.
The last few chapters are a GOOD NEWS story and how God transformed my life! I talk about how I moved out of a horrific life to a life I could have never dreamed possible! To a life of feeling absolute happiness, joyousness, and internal freedom. And how I came to view my childhood in a different light and started choosing a different path, which has resulted in ultimate ever flowing joy. One could say it is looking at the “Other Side” of things.

My hope is my story may serve as an inspiration to you and that it may help you find your way to a happy, joyous, and free life; since I share how I got to the other side of unhappiness, loneliness, and depression. The other side, of course, being happy, joyous, and free.
