An Inspirational Memoir of Freedom After Terrible Abuse

In "Betrayed Broken Defiled," author Patti Theisen reveals an intimate portrait of how a loving God can heal all those who have been abused.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) October 8, 2006 -- "Betrayed Broken Defiled" by Patti Theisen is an astonishingly personal memoir of a life that hit rock bottom and spiraled back to the top, with the help of God. Abused at an early age, Theisen struggled to drown her pain in alcohol, but when she found God, her life turned around.

God is always a way out of the darkness, says author Patti Theisen in her stunning memoir "Betrayed Broken Defiled." Violated at the age of 9 by her father, denied by her mother, Theisen grew up confused and miserable. She tried therapy without much result and began to soak her sorrows in alcohol and Valium. It wasn’t until she found God that her life began to change, a reversal so amazing, she now seeks to share it with others who may also be hurting.

In warm, compassionate prose, Theisen describes her path to her new life and discusses the principles of her faith. She discusses why God lets bad things happen to good people, and how and why we must forgive. Theisen found a new identity in God, and her message here is to get others to do the same. To get readers started, she includes scriptures at the end of the book. Deeply moving and profoundly meaningful, "Betrayed Broken, Defiled" offers hope, truth and solace to anyone in need.
