Do you ever wonder why you do the things you do? And why you keep doing them over and over again . . . no matter how much you want to change? You are not alone. Our habits are often passed down from one generation to the next. We have little control of what they are, or how they affect us, because we often don’t even know they exist.
This is the story of a woman who continually sought after the dream of her knight in shining armor. But something always went wrong. Instead of a hero, she found herself choosing destructive and abusive relationships. Dismissing those who may have been a better choice. Always wanting to change. Always hoping to change. But with no one to help her get off the merry-go-round.
Until one day, her world is turned upside down. In an unlikely place, in unlikely circumstances, she meets her shining knight. And even though she is unaware of needing it, she soon realizes . . . her rescue is on!
Leslie T. Dean has been a registered nurse for forty-one years. She has served as a Behavioral Health Counselor, Psychiatric Nurse Manager, and Pastoral Counselor. Her first novel, Forgiven Much, has experienced continued success in counseling centers and Pregnancy Resource Centers across the country helping women find hope at the foot of the cross. She has counseled victims of abuse, codependency, and abortion for over thirty years.
Through continued study and healing in her own life, she has discovered the plague that intergenerational trauma passes into families. Because of her personal experience in this area, and through her many contacts, she has found that an epidemic number of people have experienced some form of abuse in their childhood. Consequently, they often suffer with poor self-image, depression, substance abuse, relational dysfunction, and worse, the generational passing of the abuse baton. Ms. Dean has dedicated her life to assisting others in untangling this web of deceit and lead them to a place of healing.
