An intensely gripping and moving sequence of meditations and prayers that reaches out to everyone who is heartbroken and in need of tenderness and compassion. At some point in our lives, we all have to face the difficult journey of coming to terms with feelings of rejection and humiliation and fear. In telling the stories of the survivors of abuse and in reflecting on the reality of her own sexual abuse, Beth Crisp takes the reader on a path from despair to hope. Tragedies and disasters become places of courage, of perseverance and of the breaking of silence, and stories of rejection and terror become stories of healing, of hope and of encouragement.
