Based on a true story, a new novel from Diamante Lavendar.
Joan Eastman was born like any other girl. However her life
would prove to be a life of great pain…
Growing up, she was treated differently by family members,
powerless to defend herself against their sexual and psychological abuse.
Feeling she had been dealt a wicked hand by the “powers that be”, she spiraled
into substance abuse and troubled relationships. She became a victim of
addiction and self-hatred.
Not giving up, she becomes aware of a greater spiritual
being that protects her and she begins to heal. Then she finds herself
pregnant. She learns to understand nothing is hopeless; that with a changed
view and self-discovery, there is real hope in every situation, no matter how
difficult.
As she and her husband look forward to the birth of their
child, she writes in her diary as a way of expelling all of the evil memories.
On bed rest for the duration of her pregnancy, she endures tests and
tribulations that at first she couldn’t begin to understand. But no matter how
high the hurdles in Joan’s life are, she doesn’t look back, and pulls the
pieces of her life together…for herself and her unborn child.
This inspirational story speaks of Joan’s gradual
self-acceptance and healing of her body, mind and spirit. It speaks of the
possibilities of the future and the fulfillment of the dream of love and
family. And it speaks of jumping the hurdles in life without looking back, no
matter how high those hurdles may be.
