About this listen

In this candid book Vanessa vulnerably shares parts of her life story, taking the listener on a journey which began in Africa with trauma from losing her mother at a young age that damaged her identity, to one of healing, wholeness and hope as she discovered identity and purpose in her late fifties. It is a story of restoration and rebuilding that will bring healing to mother wounds and encourage you to look at your own life, using the tools and practical applications for living that she has learned along the way.

This audiobook also features an interview with the author.

I had really enjoyed reading Vanessa's book when it was first published but then decided I also wanted to listen to her audible version in order to catch the nuances of what she is sharing. I have not been disappointed and Vanessa has a beautiful, soothing and genuine-sounding voice. I am a Christian who is familiar with a lot of what the Bible says but Vanessa brings so much life, meaning and practical application to the Words of Jesus Christ. Thank you Vanessa! I hope you bless many people with the time and courage you have expended in writing and sharing your testimony.

A beautiful story of growth of a believer after God's own heart. There was so much I could identify with, even though my childhood was very different. I felt as if I was eating a delicious meal and being washed in pure water at the same time.. I was so encouraged to see just what God has done in my own life over similar identity and performance issues. He's so patient with us. I was very encouraged by the pictures Vanessa used... like the care taken over the newly planted seedling.... so helpful when I'm tempted to think I'm going so slowly! I think this is a great book for everyone to read. We're all in process.
