After a very painful childhood scarred from many deep wounds of alcoholism, abandonment, and abuse. As an adult, Kristy Orison became a student both in recovery and in her Christian faith. She found answers to heal and miraculously restore her estranged, toxic relationship with her mother in her mother's final days.
In this raw, transparent book, Kristy shares the stages of her life: the pit, the prison, and the promise. The pit is the dysfunction into which she was born. The prison is the "people pleasing" bondage in which she lived for many years, combating piercing wounds and words. Finally, the promise is where she learned to attack her own unhealthy patterns and behaviors and be free from the lies, the snares, and the demeaning and defeating words and wounds.
¿With deeply informed compassion, Kristy shares letters, lessons, and life experiences along with inspirational thoughts and meditations for healing and forgiveness. She reveals a powerful model that she has learned to trust herself, give herself a voice, and tell her truth!
