9Each of us is shaped by our pasts. Whether we had idyllic upbringings, childhoods that left much to be desired, lives filled lingering trauma, or any other lot, it cannot be denied that we are molded by our pasts. This does not mean, however, that we must be burdened by them.No Longer in Pieces tells the moving and personal story of one young woman who overcame the very worst of a childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood littered with obstacles. Touching on generational issues, dark family histories, surviving sexual abuse, navigating troublesome relationships, motherhood, gun violence, tragic losses, and more, this illuminating testimony sees the author emerge from this trial surrounded by the love of God.Whereas some may allow their burdens to define them and turn to bitterness, this book seeks to encourage others to rise up out of life's darkest seasons secure in the knowledge that God's love is stronger than everything else. Join author Jennifer Ward on this compelling and intimate quest for personal wholeness in God-and see what a relationship with Him can do for you. Jennifer R.
