1This book is a pathway to allow others to define themselves. A way to get away from the numbness of being hurt understanding the root issues that got them to such a place. A way to stand in front of the mirror per-say and own the right to be free and possibly not visit the dark places again. Regain a sense of wholeness in God while he is the pilot, and we are just on the journey to see it all come together. In the end, we see how the responsibility is our own. Loving ourselves when others cannot seem to love us. Bridging the gaps between two different worlds understanding it was never two but only one.
