It is a work of heart. Cindy Herb has survived the devastating pain of physical, spiritual, and mental abuse, but she’s also experienced the joy of creating a new life from the ashes. This book offers hope, healing, and self-reclamation. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to move beyond the wounds and anguish of a difficult past to embrace a new life of love and happiness.” – Kaushal Aras, Author of the Seven Symphonies of Extraordinary Love: A Blueprint for World Peace “We all have within us the essence of divinity that enables us to choose light over darkness. Cindy Herb’s inspiring comeback is a beautiful testament to that spirit.” – Kai Harris, Owner, Bargainmom.net “Cindy’s autobiography is a great story of hope through adversity. This book is not just for women who have experienced sexual abuse, but for anyone who has gone through a “rough patch” in their life. This book is a must have for women of any age. This is a great book to reference when you are going through life’s trials.” - Nina Say, Owner, Theonefantastical.com “Cindy writes about her childhood rape at nine years old, being stalked, and sexually assaulted by her father. But her story does not end there—the biggest part of her book is when she finally discovers herself and essentially uncovers the key to a happy life. I cannot explain the feeling of satisfaction and relief that I felt after closing the back cover. One of my favorite things that I learned while reading this book was that no matter what the Church tell you, you are never separated from God. Be prepared to be amazed. And for those of you who do read this book, within the last few pages you will fully understand the meaning of the cover. It is a beautiful image, and knowing the meaning makes it spectacular.” - Siobhan Shaw, Co-Host, The Attitude Shift “Your book…is excellent. I read every word and felt your pain. Your story will reach so many people. ” - Beverly F. Jones, Host, Commanding Your Life, BlogTalk Radio “Cindy is a wonderful person. She has energy galore.”
