When Your Nest Catches Fire: Finding Yourself & Becoming Free Again

When life unfolds in ways you never imagined, it can reveal how fragile your sense of security truly was. When Your Nest Catches Fire is a gentle, faith-filled reminder that even when stability wavers and love fails to take root, God remains faithful - deeply concerned about the very things that concern you. "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me." (Psalm 138:8, NKJV)With honesty and warmth, Susan R. Rockwell shares her journey through heartbreak and the slow unraveling of a life lived in the daily turmoil of someone else's addiction - a life where stability never fully formed and survival often felt like the only goal. Though her childhood held many good memories, emotional safety often wavered, shaping a protective withdrawal that followed her into adulthood. In marriage, those early patterns deepened, replaced by small, smoldering fires of uncertainty that hinted at a larger blaze waiting to break through.Through each chapter, Susan reveals how God met her in the smoke and ash, calming the fear that tried to take hold and guiding her toward a freedom she never imagined she could live.This book is for anyone who has lived without the emotional security they longed for and wondered how to begin again. Susan's story shows that God doesn't simply help us rebuild - He stays with us in every fragile moment, shaping what concerns us with care, purpose, and unwavering love.Susan lives in northeastern Ohio with her two dogs, Brielle and Beau. She writes with sincerity, gratitude, and a deep belief that true growth begins with surrender and the willingness to let God reshape the pieces of our lives from the inside out.
