Description
"Whether you're religious or agnostic, this beautifully raw collection of stories has something to resonate with every heart."
- Megan Grisolano, Nashville PBS
Religion leaves almost everyone with wounds because its systems often create the very trauma they claim to heal. Faith, however, can open a path toward mending what spiritual abuse has broken. It's tragic what the institutional Church has done "in the name of God." Yet this unlikely group of spiritual misfits discovers something far more sacred than doctrine: the healing love of God already alive within themselves and one another. Their stories are raw, honest, heartbreaking, and profoundly hopeful. Grab the tissues, settle in, and witness a journey that may help you find pieces of your own healing, too.

Person
Dawn Bennett has been a licensed family therapist for more than thirty-five years and writes about family life and relationships with honesty. She has sought therapy for her own family and marriage, when needed, and gives readers a broad perspective for assessing both functional and dysfunctional personal relationships from a compassionate perspective. She is often on her Facebook page, Investing Love. From Roanoke, Virginia, and the coastal cities, to Baylor University in Texas, she observes life to prepare for a successful marriage and to navigate significant difficulties within her family journey. With her humble beginnings, Dawn is an unlikely candidate for advanced education, but her advanced practice of self-love can lead us to our dreams.
