No matter what life has been like, at some point or another we all have the same question: Why does God allow bad things to happen? Grief, loss, and trauma affect each of us, and there are times it feels like the pain will never end. Yet hope, healing, and inner peace are not only possible, they are promises that our good God has made—and will keep.

But how? When? What can I do to experience such healing? How do I move through pain and find the other side of grief? When will I get my life back? Will I ever feel happy again?

In this compassionate book, licensed counselor and domestic violence survivor Kimberly Haar leads you through a transformative journey of healing. Drawing from both personal and professional experience, she shows you how to navigate the difficult seasons of life with vulnerability, faith, and resilience so that you can ultimately embrace hope, find joy, and rediscover God's deep and abiding love for you.

If you've been struggling with feelings of shame, guilt, anger, unforgiveness, or the sense that you have been abandoned by God, this honest yet encouraging book may be exactly what you need to turn the corner toward full restoration.
