Words

By Ginny L. Yttrup

Description:

Ten-year old Kaylee Wren doesn't speak. Not since her drug-addled mother walked away, leaving her in a remote cabin nestled in the towering redwoods-in the care of a man who is as dangerous as he is evil. With silence her only refuge, Kaylee collects words she might never speak from the only memento her mother left behind: a dictionary.

Sierra Dawn is thirty-four, an artist, and alone. She has allowed the shame of her past to silence her present hopes and chooses to bury her pain by trying to control her circumstances. But on the twelfth anniversary of her daughter's death, Sierra's control begins to crumble as the God of her childhood woos her back to Himself.

Brought together by Divine design, Kaylee and Sierra will discover together the healing mercy of the Word-Jesus Christ.

Book Takeaway:

Words offers a picture of the freedom found in Jesus Christ.

Why the author wrote this book:

Words is loosely based on my own history of childhood sexual abuse and my knowledge of the many people shamed by this sin. My prayer is that Words will offer hope and healing to those who read it.
