Ascension of a Woman is Karen Moreno Scott's debut memoir in which she takes you on a deeply personal journey of her life as the daughter of an immigrant Guatemalan mother, of growing up fatherless, overcoming sexual and domestic abuse, and how she came to embark on a lifelong search for redemption and most profound self-discovery. Bear witness to Karen's healing as she reconnects with her inner child to mend unhealed wounds, and in the process, learns to use her voice, reclaims her body, uncovers her multiracial identity, and comes alive before her very own eyes.This book is for anyone who has had to pick themselves up off the ground, has fought their way through darkness, and has discovered the light living within, because it is when we are falling that we learn to fly.
