Stretched But Not Broken (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781604776409)

Stretched but not Broken, chronicles the story of Mia Hall. Raped at five years old and emotionally abandoned by a loving but depressed mother, Mia grows into a compliant woman enabling the bipolar and controlling abuses of her older sister, Karen. Mia's stepfather, Bruce, also abusive and psychotic, still, in his warped way, loves Mia and his family. Through a life of kept secrets, silence in the face of abusive oppression, and a broken romance, Mia is driven to attempted suicide. But Mia has a friend, Julie, who has been telling Mia about the love of God and how much he has in store for Mia's life and future. Mia must then make a decision to let go of her past, and stretch toward a bright and loving future with a Savior who proves to be the only answer to Mia's shredded life of fear, anguish and hopelessness.
