This is the story of one woman's journey to escape a tormented life of continuous beatings-bruises, stabbings, and near-death experiences-at the hands of the father of her children. It is also the story of ascension into a life of freedom, joy, and love. Toxic Forgiveness is the story of fear and shame, of courage and healing, of belief and mission, told so we may all better understand the nature of abuse-and so we may all help to move this world further into the light. This book gifts the opportunity to dive deeply into the nature of forgiveness, for it is a deep dive into the nature of humanity. And while we are all flawed, we all deserve a second chance to love ourselves.
