There is more to life than just surviving abuse. Healing is possible with the Lord. Life abundantly is waiting for all.. |
"From a frightened, rebellious, know-it- all teen, Lynnette had the "fight" that kept her moving forward, surviving and even thriving through the years of her education and complicated relationships to become the beloved wife, mother, sister, daughter and dear friend to many, including herself, that she is today. It wasn't until she embraced Jesus Christ (or - her faith) did she feel worthy of being loved, and her true healing [became] embedded in her soul. "

"Lynnette's story unfolds in a manner that can be useful to others who experience similar challenges due to sexual abuse because she also reveals how she understands and accepts help. This insight also holds value for readers who want to offer help. For example, as a friend and helping professional, I've witnessed Lynnette explore her tangible and intangible resources over time. She is always authentic and has remained receptive to input about unused and underdeveloped opportunities. This practical skill of resource enhancement is an optimal outcome of post trauma growth. For Lynnette, these resources have been her faith, family, and friends. Professional and natural helpers alike can benefit from the recounting of various family, friend, and therapeutic perspectives told in realistic but respectful fashion. Lynnette's story is a tribute to not only individual resiliency, but shines a light on how we need each other to navigate the waters of recovery. She demonstrates how we can find firm footing in the tangible and intangible resources found only through loving relationships."

"It takes divine courage to find the depth of honesty it takes to write a book such as this one. Lynnette’s story allows you to walk with her through her journey as painful secrets hidden in the shadows are exposed to the light of Christ. My hope is that her words will lead you to the hope and healing she has found."
