Picture a class of children told to smash colored glass bottles into pieces, then asked: Can you put these back together exactly as they were? You can't. But you can arrange the broken pieces into something new, a mosaic, whole in a different way, serving a different purpose. That's the image at the heart of this memoir.
This is the story of five seasons, each marked by a color: White for an innocence lost too young, Green for an unexpected love that slowly taught what healthy love actually looks like, Red for the grief and guilt of raising a child while still healing herself, Gray for a trauma buried for twenty years until God brought it into the light in a single, unforgettable moment, and Yellow for a purpose that had been waiting all along.
From childhood abuse to teenage pregnancy, from repeated suicide attempts to a marriage built on more brokenness than either partner realized at the time, this memoir doesn't flinch from the hardest parts of the story. But it doesn't stop there. It's a testimony of what happens after the wreckage, of becoming a wife, a mother of four, a grandmother of fourteen, an ordained minister, and a first-generation college graduate, one healed piece at a time.
Included is a 30-Day Healing Journey, a companion journal woven into the book itself, with scripture, reflection questions, and guided prompts for readers walking their own road toward healing.
Whatever season you're in, whatever's been broken, this book carries one message: God is still painting, and sometimes the most beautiful masterpiece takes a lifetime to appear.
