Have you ever looked in the mirror and not recognized the person looking back at you? Have you ever looked at your body and thought you were facing your own worst enemy? Have you ever thought you had hit rock bottom only to discover you had further to fall? It’s time to heal and save yourself. It’s time to rise up and thrive. We live in a world where help is readily available, but is it the kind we are seeking? In Broken to Blessed Angela Dawes tells her own heart-rending story of survival and triumph: battling an eating disorder and the negative self-image at its root, enduring grief at the untimely and unexpected death of her father, and surviving repeated heartache as she suffered four miscarriages. With unflinching honesty, she tells how she overcame obstacles, found strength within herself, and opened her heart. Readers of Broken to Blessed will come away from the author’s story inspired and confident that they too can find hope in healing.
