The Girl from Chapel Hill: Her Journey of Faith, Forgiveness, and Freedom
|
Christian/Fiction
Growing up, Laura never knew her father or even his last name. Many years later, an encounter with a stranger would drastically impact her life and cause her to question her own identity. Then, through a chain of spiraling events, she learns there’s an unknown enemy who appears to stop at nothing to destroy her very existence. Meanwhile, she carries a painful burden of a dark, haunting secret, hidden unforgiveness, and low self-esteem. Her story begins and ends with reflections on lessons she learned from her dear Mama (her maternal grandmother), who reared her from birth. Laura faces challenges as she struggles to embrace these lessons of faith, hope, love, and forgiveness. Even though her thoughts often turn to Mama’s faith and these lessons, she finally declares “enough is enough” and uses her measure of faith to survive in a life so filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. At every juncture, one thing remains constant: the very presence of God. Excerpt passages: If the stranger’s information is factual, Laura knows her mind would soon find its way frantically going down a rabbit hole -in search of “who am I?” Afterward, Laura catches her breath and helplessly stares at Tina and asks, “Will God still love someone like me, someone as awful as me? Will He ever forgive me for that awful, fateful night?”
