Rebuilding Jennifer
CAN YOUR MIND HEAL AFTER TRAUMA?
Jennifer Lee Black doesn’t remember a time when her mother held her, hugged her, kissed her, or said, ‘I love you.’ But she does remember every punch, kick, burn, and insult. For years Jennifer has suffered at the hands of others. From harrowing visits to the family physician at age seven to entering foster care at fifteen, she has experienced it all.
Physical and mental abuse has left Jennifer with an overabundance of scars – some visible, others not. It’s also left her with the desire to leave her mother’s household and build a life for herself that’s free from dysfunction. Even though Jennifer has sworn to be a better person, a series of unfortunate events and bad decisions start to turn her into the same monsters she’s battled for over a decade.
A crescendo of abuse and torment builds until the unthinkable happens. At that moment, Jennifer must decide if she should continue living the way she has been or make a change and rebuild. Rebuilding Jennifer is a powerful story about self-perseverance and survival that will unearth your inner strength.
Book Two
Finding Preston
CAN YOUR HEART LOVE AFTER LOSS?
After being viciously attacked, Jennifer Lee Black returns to her hometown in hopes of rebuilding her life. But first, she needs to recover from the trauma. Holed up in her great-grandmother’s farmhouse, she also needs to come to terms with walking away from the love of her life.
When her mother moves in, Jennifer falls victim to her dysfunctional ways once again. Her mother is determined to make her life a living hell, but Jennifer won’t let that stop her from moving on and building the life that she wants. Even though her scars have not healed, Jennifer leaves the comfort of her great-grandmother’s home to find a job. And the moment she does, more of her troublesome past catches up with her.
Jennifer agrees to join an old friend for dinner, thinking it might mend some old wounds. Instead, she finds herself bamboozled into a blind date with Preston Ledger. A man who is assertive, arrogant, and whose actions alter the course of Jennifer’s life in an instant. Finding Preston is a touching story about love and loss that will warm your heart.
