Frieda Winslow never intended to lead a movement. She only wanted to survive.

From the bruised edges of Southside Frampton to the flickering halls of second chances, Frieda's journey begins with loss, rebellion, and silence. A runaway. A dropout. A girl with too many secrets and not enough hope. But grace has a way of finding us in the wreckage-and calling us to rise.

Through community shelters, late-night confession circles, and classrooms that double as lifelines, Frieda becomes more than a survivor-she becomes a voice for the voiceless. Girls who once whispered in the shadows now find their strength in her presence. But when betrayal creeps in, and power begins to threaten the very thing she's built, Frieda must decide: Will she retreat into the pain of her past-or fight forward with the faith that changed her life?

Told with raw honesty and lyrical hope, Forever Restored: Where Grace Begins-the stirring prequel to Forever Restored: Healing in the Aftermath-is a heart-wrenching, soul-stirring portrait of redemption, sisterhood, and the fierce grace that dares to bloom in broken places.
