We all experience legacies on this side of heaven. One, passed down, that we didn't create. The other, we entrust to the Lord as we seek, with hope, to allow him to pen a story only he could write through us. If you've struggled to heal past hurt and allow God to redeem your story, Kristen's wisdom will encourage you as you take step after step toward true healing—the kind only found in the safe, loving arms of our heavenly Father.

As a therapist, all the tools I would want you to have for coping are included here. Even better, the person of Christ, who compassionately enters into our stories, is exalted in this hands-on guide for overcoming trauma. Grateful for the gentle way Kristen leads us to him as the ultimate healer and author of a better narrative.
