Merciful, I Am: The Story of How Forgiving Others Taught Me How to Forgive Myself

By Deborah A. Bouley

Merciful, I AM is a first novel written by the author. Written from a perspective of an adult recalling a childhood, it is a heart wrenching and brutal account. I cried for the small child with no voice and no support and applauded the woman warrior that has emerged! Voice is a powerful weapon! The book is a metamorphosis of love and forgiveness of self and of others. I recommend that you read this book and keep a box of tissues nearby!
Lorraine Uhlmann

Deborah Bouley, has taken her powerful story to allow others to see there is a choice that we can make to free ourselves from pain, fear, and old patterns of behavior. In her story, Deborah takes us to a place of reparenting,renewing, and relearning our worth so that we can stand in our power to manifest our hearts desires. This is the power of knowing, not only who we are, but whose we are.
Rev. Carmen Pilar Gonzalez

Open your heart to a moving story that brings you through depths of shame and guilt and moves you to the discovery of enlightenment, truth, and love.
Patricia S. Lane
