Learning to forgive is a process. After over thirty years of carrying her past, Felicia Portwine made a conscious decision to let go of all that had been holding her in bondage (hostage). The hurt, pain, guilt, and shame were who she thought she was; it was her reality. She had to let it all go once and for all! You Knew Me Then, But You See Me Now is her declaration of freedom. Felicia's willingness to forgive was the pivot point in which her life truly began. A person may never know they are bound until they are free. Unresolved issues and your past can ultimately take over your entire life. You will begin to tell people this is who I am.

However, in reality, this is what you have become as a result of hurt. Hurting people hurt others. On the other hand, if a person does not know they are hurting, then in return, they do not realize they are hurting others. Forgiveness feels like you are rewarding someone for something they don't deserve! How many times has God forgiven us? It kind of sounds like GRACE to me. The grace working in us for others allows us to forgive and move past the past! So, allow your grace for others to help you forgive and move into your GOD-given destiny (your purpose). This will keep the past in the past! Trust the process and forgive in order to live your God-given purpose, destiny, a life of liberty, and freedom. Live your best life! Finally, free to be you. This is Felicia's purpose for this book - to help you be the best you!
