About the Book
Sharon Beach built her life on grit, faith, and a willingness to figure things out the hard way. In October 1989, she was kidnapped at gunpoint and held for days. With no control over her circumstances, she relied on what no one could take from her—her mind and her faith—and engaged in psychological warfare against her perpetrators, making decisions that would lead to her escape.
She walked out alive.
What followed was a long road back: five months in the hospital, multiple surgeries, and years of standing firm as the justice system ran its course. Through it all, she made a decision not to let what happened define the rest of her life.
In Don’t You Dare Let Go, Sharon shares what she learned in those days and everything that came after. She writes the way she lives, plainspoken and steady, offering a clear look at what it means to hold your footing, trust God in the middle of uncertainty, and keep moving forward when you don’t have all the answers.
There is still a life for you on the other side of what you’ve been through.

“‘Do you know the hell she’s been through; it’s a hell of a story.’ Sharon has walked through the fire—and her story will take your breath away. She is, without question, an angel on earth, and her book will leave no doubt in your mind. I pray it moves you as profoundly as it has moved me, shifting the way you see your own hardships and renewing your faith that our Savior never, not for a single moment, leaves your side.”

“With breathtaking courage, Sharon shares not only how she survived the unthinkable, but how her faith carried her all the way through to thrive. It is so rare to find a book that speaks equally to the wounded spirit and the resilient soul. This one does. It gives readers permission to grieve, the strength to rise, and the unshakeable reminder that God’s grip on them was never loosened—even in their darkest moment. For anyone who has ever wondered if they can come back from an impossible situation, this book is your answer."

“God was surely with you. Your story is proof that just as the three men were cast into the fire, a fourth could be seen standing with them … and they survived. While you were enduring your own hell on earth He never left your side. Hindsight in 20/20 vision.
The determination in you to survive; the ability to escape your captors; the right people by your side who advocated for you in times and places that just happened to be available for you. The miracles along the way, they were no coincidence.
Bless you for having the gumption and grit to not only survive but to also ‘go and tell what the Lord has done for you.’ Because you do, you bring comfort to those of us who also have survived our own stories. ‘Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God’ (2 Corinthians 1:3–4).”
