SISTERS OF SILENCE Series
An upcoming book series with the voices of three sisters dedicated to encouraging others to come out of the silence enforced by abusers. Written with the understanding that breaking the silence is a first step toward restoration.
Three sisters with three different stories. A family’s dysfunction and culture of silence leaves a unique impact on each one. God also leaves a unique impact and restores each sister in a way designed for her alone.
Series' Upcoming Titles
- Heartache of Promise – A Prison of Silence Unlocked
- Powder Keg of Purpose – A Shattered Identity Restored
- Solitary Song of Praise – A Hidden Joy Released
My desire for this series is that women from abusive environments who grew up denying their true selves and struggling to be honest with their hearts or merely to survive will find hope and the promise of healing.
HEARTACHE OF PROMISE
Can a lost self ever be restored?
Rose-Marie Clarke lives in a culture of silence and perfectionism with an undertow of family secrets. In this dynamic, she fails to recognize her deep love for one man. She ignores her heart until she can no longer hear it and makes choices that can never be undone.
Failing to recognize the lie she is living, Rose-Marie strives to obtain love’s promise within a marriage with children, poverty, and a fledgling faith.
When her first love returns, Rose-Marie’s repressed emotions awaken.
But will it be too dangerous to stir emotions after a life of silence? How can God possibly give her answers to free her heart?
