Bio of Monique Lisbon
Monique Lisbon is a singer/songwriter, author and public speaker, with a special focus on finding hope in the ‘mess’ of life and faith.
A survivor of child abuse, Monique has expressed much of her pain and the journey towards hope in her music and books.
After releasing many albums, her first book, Fragments of Home: Piecing Life Together after Childhood Sexual Abuse was published in 2010.
Fragments of Home then formed the basis of a multi-DVD resource set designed for facilitated recovery groups of adult survivors of childhood abuse, released in 2012.
Fragments of Home was followed by several other books exploring Monique’s evolving story of hope:
-
- Keeping Mum: The Silent Cost of Surviving Childhood Sexual Abuse
- Inch by Inch: Finding a Home within My Skin
- Leaving My GPS Behind: Lessons I Need to Learn
- Juvenilia: To Speak and Hear the Unknown
- Matching Baggage: Sharing the Load in Love
- HOPE: An Evolving Story (hardback compendium containing 4 books/albums by Monique)
Monique’s latest musical collection (a joint album with Judd Field) is Matching Baggage. This collection represents a new focus in Monique’s creative life, on moving towards a fulfilling future. It explores the challenges and dynamics of relationships. Threads of yearning, disappointment, poignancy, humour and hope are woven through a tapestry of musical genres..
