Stunning Fictional Memoir Recounts One Woman's Psychological and Spiritual Journey

The Brain God Gave Me is author Roxie Howard's startling story of how her deep faith saved her from destruction by religion and psychiatry

Moorhead, Minn. (PRWEB) June 12, 2008 -- The Brain God Gave Me, a new book by Roxie Howard, explores how the author overcame childhood trauma to live a rich and fulfilling life.

The Brain God Gave Me is an astonishing account of how one courageous Christian woman triumphed over nearly insurmountable odds to find peace and happiness. Howard was thought by her religious community and family to be possessed by demons. When she turned to mental health professionals for help, she was told that her problem was gender identity or abuse, but she was initially unsuccessful at finding any real solutions. Only when Howard began to be truthful to herself and forgiving of others was she able to emerge from the dark days with more effective therapy and find a newly strengthened faith in God and in herself.

Beautifully written and deeply inspiring, The Brain God Gave Me shines a light on child abuse and encourages readers to find inner strength and never give up. Despite her disastrous psychotherapy and the prejudice of the religious community which labeled her a sinner, Howard went on to be an assistant to a family law attorney and a foster mother.

A clear-eyed study of how those who seem the most helpful can sometimes do the most harm, The Brain God Gave Me is as moving and insightful as it is page-turning.
