Julie is a champion of the sexually wounded and the sexually exploited because she has been there herself. Having descended into that hell and having encountered the God who descended there with her to pull her out, she knows how to be a witness to hope-the hope that saves!

A living miracle of God's love. A powerful love story from barely surviving to thriving after sexual abuse and other traumas. Julie's brave escape and her discovery of healing through God's love. Julie, alone, powerless, and afraid, learned at a tender young age how to survive her horrific childhood. She survived by learning God's love for her through the beauty of the Rocky Mountains, her loving horse, Chico, and her grandmother's love. She hopped on a train at eighteen to save her life. She lived in survival mode for the next few years until she met God, who spoke to her in the middle of the night when she attempted to kill herself. God's powerful voice said, "I love you, Julie." She felt God's powerful love radiate warmth through her heart. He turned her life around from tragedy to triumph through the many miracles of His grace. She now is delighted to be God's healing vessel to many others shattered by sexual trauma as a Christian trauma therapist.
