Roses From Ashes: a Memoir
A testimony of justice, awakening, and the unshakable faith of a mother who refuses to be silenced.
Roses From Ashes is currently in developmental edits. It traces the true story of a woman who endured sexual violence in the halls of political power, domestic abuse behind closed doors, and a justice system that failed again and again — until she stopped waiting for rescue, overcame fear, and rose with divine strength.
Through heartbreak, healing, and holy fire, this memoir confronts corruption, exposes truth, and reclaims what was stolen.
Inside the Memoir:
-
A survivor’s voice rooted in faith, justice, and unrelenting love
-
The hidden cost of speaking truth in political spaces
-
The sacred power of reclaiming your story
-
Encouragement for survivors navigating post-separation abuse, court systems, and spiritual trauma
-
God sees. And He is not silent.
Sound familiar?
This is more than one woman's story. As I've met with other survivors, it's clear:
It’s a rising for all of us—for every woman silenced, every survivor searching for God in the ruins, and every beautiful soul planting a garden in scorched earth.
It’s for those turning family court waiting rooms into houses of prayer.
For those reclaiming peace in places where chaos reigned.
For those taking back territory with nothing but truth and the presence of God.
It resonates in all of us because we are all ready for the transformation.
