My survival of domestic abuse and growth into a whole, single person has been a journey of courage, faith, and determination. This book recounts my experiences and lessons learned with all their pain, humility, and humor. I share my experiences for two reasons: * To empower those traveling a similar road to survive and grow. * To help their friends and loved ones understand and support the abused person in their recovery. Through recovery, I blossomed into a successful, independent woman and gained the empathy to reach out to others. God was with me every step of the way even when I did not see or feel His Presence. As it says in Jeremiah 29:11: For I know well the plans I have in mind for you...plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope. I pray as you read this book that you also find God's plan for your life. Finally, I want to thank you, the reader, for sharing my journey. I hope my experiences speak to you. If so, please take a moment to post a review and tell a friend
