A story of trauma, survival, and healing, narrated in the author’s own voice.

This gripping and emotional journey takes you through Demarra's triumph over the adversity of complex childhood trauma into a life rooted in joy, purpose, and love.

Demarra’s earliest memory of trauma came at six although the violence she witnessed at the hands of her stepfather was present long before that. By the time she was thirteen, Demarra experienced eight Adverse Childhood Experiences which nearly caused her to take her own life. Many people, including professionals positioned to help her, such as her therapist, had written her off, as she endured nearly all-consuming pain that only trauma and grief can bring.

More than thirty years later from that first memory of trauma, being a successful therapist and entrepreneur, and a wife and mother, Demarra realized that she too, had deep healing to do.

This awakening caused Demarra to start again, leaving behind everything that was familiar to her, including a loving husband of fifteen years, and moving into uncharted territory in search of herself, and all that had been lost.

As a therapist and holistic practitioner, Demarra offers insight for readers seeking to overcome past trauma and live abundantly in every area of their lives. But equally important, it’s for those charged to support survivors so they can begin the healing process immediately.

As listeners journey through the story, they are left with a resonant and hopeful promise, an assurance that, no matter who we are, and what we’ve been through, the path to healing and joy is not only possible but part of our birthright and inherently worth pursuing.
