She Believed She Could, So God Did

by Christine Merino

5.0 out of 5· 21 reviews on Amazon

So often, a woman who is abused tries to hide it out of shame. She might hope that if she just sticks it out a little longer, she can figure out how to change it, fix it, make it better. She might believe that she will lose too much if she leaves.

I was that girl and then I was that woman. Christine wrote this book for therapy, to heal, and to break the cycle for her daughter — and to help anyone find self-love and forgiveness. Turning pain into purpose is her Why.

For readers ages 14 and up. Due to the content and nature of domestic violence, adult language is used to portray real events as they occurred.
