I have written this book to explore how to keep surviving a traumatic background in many settings – as a mother, as an employee, as someone active on the dating scene, as a person undertaking marriage again, as a friend, as a business owner, and – critically – as a child of God. This book also includes the words of others who have gone down my same dark roads and tells how they managed to emerge.I hope their thoughts and mine reach those struggling with a life that seems hopeless, with problems they think too great to conquer, with a darkness so heavy they believe it will never lift. With God at our side and His desire to lift up even the most wretched among us, I am sure it will happen.
