Here's what a couple of others are saying about it:
Nobody escapes life without a woundedheart, and there’s nothing Christians need more than mended hearts. As awounded healer who has traveled the valley of deep hurt, Mary guides withunmasked clarity toward healing those relational riffs so you can experienceGod’s joy once again. –
