The inspiring true story of a woman who learned to redefine what it means to be broken.

In her early twenties, and newly diagnosed with depression, Heidi believes she is permanently damaged. When her boyfriend's headache turns out to be a cancerous brain tumor, she sets her brokenness aside to become his caregiver.

Depression returns just a few years later, as she mourns the loss of her husband and attempts to raise two young boys on her own. Anxious and overwhelmed, she repeatedly cries out in prayer for guidance, and deliverance from her suffering. Will it ever come? When a Bible study challenges her mindset, a new path forward emerges. But, is she brave enough to follow it?

Encouraging and tender, Looking Back and Running Forward is a reminder that even though we are all broken and face difficulties, we can still choose to experience joy.
