An honest journey from darkness to faith

An honest portrayal of a struggle, a wrestling; a journey from hurt, injustice and disillusionment with both God, the judicial system and many in the Christian community to a place of healing, acceptance and true faith and trust in God's love. Yet it is not a Pollyanna story of everything working out perfectly and justice prevailing, rather a deeply moving, depth filled testimony of suffering and the journey from darkness to life. Should be read by all believers, those struggling with trauma and woundedness and those who have or interact with young people.
