Beyond Trauma: Discovering the True You in the River of His Grace

This is the chronicle of a woman whose Christian faith and trusting obedience to the smallest promptings of the Lord's abiding presence, along with her unflinching tenacity to "Never give up!" brought her back from the depths of catastrophic damage to her body and mind, after suffering severe PTSD, TBI, and sustaining devastating wounds in a car accident that took the life of her pastor-husband and two parishioners. She alone survived...and seemingly against all odds, again and again, thrived. The sober and tested observation of the seventh-century bishop St. Isaac the Syrian comes vividly to mind: "God's marvelous love is made known to man when he is in the midst of circumstances that cut off his hope."-Fr.
