Putting the Broken Pieces of My Life Together - Paperback

by Katrina L. Royster (Author)

The book Putting the Broken Pieces of My Life Together tells the story of

the effects of emotional, verbal, psychological, physical, and sexual abuse in

the life of the author from her childhood through adulthood. The author al-

lows the reader to have an inside look into how the array of abuses impacted

the members of her family, particularly her relationship with her mother. The

heart-wrenching inner turmoil that an abused child experiences as she tries

to make sense of a world that does not value her grabs the reader's attention.

Nevertheless, the book shows the power of a relationship with Jesus Christ

that moves the author to choose to forgive her abusers, thus giving herself

permission to find her voice and to live her life. The courage of the author

to tell her story adds hope to this book and provides readers with reasons to

believe that healing can be found through Jesus Christ.
