CAN ONE REALLY HEAL FROM TRAUMA?
HEALING YOUR LIFE ONE LEAF AT A TIME BY SARA SHAW
TRUE STORIES OF HEALING FROM PERSONAL INTERVIEWS IN NEW BOOK
Palm Beach County, FL (8/1/24)… South Florida author, Sara Shaw, recounts real
life stories of healing from trauma and tragedy in her second book, Healing Your
Life One Leaf At A Time (Trilogy Publishing/July 2024). Her first book, Two Sisters
and the Four Leaf Clover, a story of a family’s tragedies, desperation and strong
will to survive motivated others to come forward to tell their stories. This led to
her writing Healing Your Life One Leaf At A Time, a compelling compilation of
intimate interviews by of people from all walks of life sharing their darkest days.
She hopes that these heart-rending stories will help others heal from their own
trauma and tragedy.
“Being honest about your own life opens the door for others to be brave and have
the courage to share their pain and help with their healing,” says Olivia, who
reveals her story of emotional abuse, abandonment, foster care and surviving
cancer. The personal experiences of the 19 people who were interviewed include
abuse, divorce, war, prison, abandonment, growing up in an orphanage, foster
care (good and bad), suicide, loss of loved ones, grief, and drugs and addiction.
Sara says, “These accounts of men and women, young and old, from all over the
country, tell stories about their lives and journeys, some shocking and some that
led to dark and dangerous places. They unselfishly shared not just for healing
themselves, but to offer hope and healing to others. It has been a life changing
experience for all of them.”
While tragic childhoods and other unavoidable circumstances contributed to their
experiences, a common theme throughout the book is the blind eye they had to
red flags that led to dangerous relationships and situations that caused trauma
and abuse. Learning to recognize the red flags and owning their mistakes put
them on a path to healing and rebuilding their lives whether through faith,
sobriety, angels or even gardening. Abbigale Rose, a popular singer who has opened
for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legends and Grammy winner Lacy J. Dalton in
support of the book, is using her experiences and a song she composed called
Run Girl Run to reach out and address the culture of enabling abuse and instead
enable the survivors.
An important message that these stories offer is that even though you may have
been dealt a bad hand, one cannot change the past, but can change the future.
Many have deep scars and hurts. Many have found happiness and some peace.
There is tremendous healing power in telling your story.
According to the legendary singer, Tina Turner, a victim of physical abuse by her
husband Ike, “Because of something that I found within myself, something that is
actually in all of us, a little piece of God just waiting to be discovered.”
