Customer Reviews

Amazing book! What a testimony!

When I got this book from my local library I had no idea what a powerful impact it would have on my life. Monique Douglass-Andrews is extremely articulate, and her writing style engaged me immediately. I was absorbed in it from the very first page; it was nearly impossible to put down. She is brutally honest about the most difficult times in her life, which has the effect of making her that much more real to her readers. There is no pretense in her writing.Monique Douglass-Andrews' story is a testament to the power of God to heal and restore us in our broken places, and to bring wholeness when our minds have been shattered. She is an author I would love to meet in person. I would love to personally tell her how her book has given me the courage to continue my own journey.This book had such a powerful impact on me that I'm going to buy it immediately so that I can read it over and over again.
