SAVING GRACE. Many women will identify with this true, frank story of fear, betrayal and abuse. Maree grew up with an absent father who was too busy to care. Rejection hit her hard at an early age. This led her to look for love in all the wrong places. Her teenage years were filled with rebellion and poor choices which caused her to live with grief, pain and shame. She feared for life from a violent and abusive partner, and tried to make ends meet as a struggling solo mum, until she was converted to the Christian faith, which led to forgiveness and reconciliation. A brave story of Hope. Testimonial for Saving Grace: “Saving Grace is a brave, well-written story of finding hope in the midst of dark places. Maree’s honest account of her life will resonate with many women—not just those who have suffered abuse. Her story is a reminder that God is always for us, even when we are unaware He exists. It was a beautiful read.” – Kerri Price, Author.
