Can a cry of praise arise from a place of UTTER BROKENNESS? Author Rachel Vrudny has traveled throughout the United States and around the world. In December 2011, she suffered an acute ischemic stroke. Now legally blind and disabled with speech and swallow issues, Rachel has chosen to live and move forward. The single mother of two boys and a former early-childhood parochial teacher, she now pursues writing and painting. This book is an intimate, often graphic view of Rachel’s eighteen year abusive marriage, and the ten ensuing years of fear. Faith and Scripture are the enduring foundation that are the definitive survival aspects of Rachel’s life. It is only by the grace of God that she continues to thrive and survive.
