King David's virgin daughter, Tamar, was raped by her brother and was forever changed. Her physical wounds healed, but her spirit remained broken. "The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a broken spirit who can bear" (Prov. 18:14). I am Tamar. You are Tamar. Anyone who has ever experienced abuse on any level (i.e., physical, sexual, mental, emotional, etc) can relate to some aspect of Tamar's tragedy. Abuse wounds more than just the physical body; it damages our ability to walk in the Spirit and produce the fruit of the Spirit. Still, there is hope. God is able to heal and renew our Spirit so that we can bear fruit. "Dynamic, encouraging, biblically sound, practical...These are just a few words that come to mind as I read over this book. It leads you to desire healing, freedom, and restoration. Only those who want real change should journey through this story of hope. It is going to shake up and challenge mindsets, and be the catalyst for women (and men) to be free from deep rooted strongholds and bondage."
