From Ashes To Beauty: How a child of two mentally ill parents went from surviving to thriving
by Heather Deffenbaugh
She opens the door to her heart and offers us an intimate view into the inner chambers of her life.
Her incredible story of surviving the pain of childhood trauma, the consequences of having mentally ill parents and having to become an adult at a very early age is nothing short of a miracle.
Through the suffering and hardships you’ll see a remarkably strong woman emerge whose extraordinary resolve brought her through the ashes as she gripped her faith and found the strength to soar.
Every painful experience grew her unwavering bravery and eventually catapulted her into the arms of Jesus.
Filled with music where the lyrics describe her circumstances and her hearts condition, the chapters will grab your heart, lift your spirits, and inspire you to overcome any obstacle that keeps you shackled to shame and fear.
She also brings light to the epidemic of mental illness and how it is time to erase the stigma in our society and in the church.
Heather’s heart’s desire is that From Ashes to Beauty will encourage you to reflect on your own life, fill you with hope and motivate you to heal the dark places in your soul that keep you in bondage.
If you need healing, or someone you love does, know that God wastes nothing, and not only will he transform your heart and mind but He will use your pain for a grand purpose, if you let Him!
