    About this ebook

    Blair Mitchell was almost thirty years old when she realized she still carried baggage from her past.
    Her self-esteem had suffered—and her spiritual growth had come to a halt because of all the hurt, shame, and sin from earlier days.
    In this book, she reveals the lessons she’s learned confronting her past. She also urges others suffering to confront their own pain to promote healing.
    As the mother of seven children, she recalls the challenges she faced becoming pregnant for the first time at age sixteen. It was a lonely and sad pregnancy, but her mom was with her every step of the way.
    Things got worse: As a domestic abuse survivor, she would find herself one night with a knife in her hand, thinking about killing her sleeping husband.
    Join the author as she shares how God helped her conquer demons from the past and move forward without heavy burdens

    Blair Mitchell

    Blair Mitchell shares how she overcame the ripple effects of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse that prompted her to bury emotions deep down within in this memoir. Fear, guilt, and shame kept her from moving forward in life and in ministry. She tells how God healed her so that she could freely share her story with others through ministry.
