The Night I Heard Heaven Rejoice

The Night I Heard Heaven Rejoice is not a fairy tale. There are no glass slippers, no perfect prince, and no storybook ending. It is a raw, unfiltered testimony of survival, faith, and redemption. Born in Ohio to a single mother carrying wounds of her own, I grew up learning that love was distorted, affection was scarce, and approval was rare. Those early lessons shaped my choices, the relationships I chased, and the pain I endured. For years, I searched for love in all the wrong places, mistaking attention for affection and settling for far less than I deserved. But brokenness does not get the final word. This memoir is about the crushing that produces oil, the breaking that leads to healing, and the God who never let go. For anyone who has struggled with cycles of hurt, carried invisible scars, or questioned whether healing was possible, this book is proof that redemption is real.
