Description
Raped at gunpoint on her university campus, Amanda Collins’s spiritual pulse flatlines. On the outside she is seemingly unscathed, but inside her soul has been murdered. With Amanda’s help, her rapist is later captured, not only for raping Amanda but for the kidnap and rape of a second victim and the rape and murder of a third victim.
When suppressing the agony is no longer effective, Amanda’s faith is nearly extinguished. But God doesn’t leave her to stay a victim. While contemplating suicide, she accepts that every layer of her being was affected during that heinous crime and finally begins the journey of learning how to live again.
Her path leads to more adversity than she could imagine. Friends question her character, and others try to tone down what happened or even blame Amanda for the rape. But Amanda forges ahead in a battle to change the way society views rape, and she helps revive the souls of other victims wounded by this brutality so they too can move beyond surviving into living. Amanda fights for recovery and rediscovers her identity has never been in what was done to her but is in what was accomplished for her.
I’ve been around Christian publishing since 1987 when I helped our ministry self-publish an important resource for Vietnam veterans and their families. That book went on to be picked up by a royalty publisher and has since sold over 250,000 copies with a million in print.
