""What Carmen has done here is nothing short of extraordinary. She has taken her own journey, her deeply rooted relationship with Jesus Christ, and paired it with the authentic, raw, and powerful stories of other women who have faced hardship, heartache, and hard seasons-and come out on the other side with unshakable faith. This is not a book of polished perfection. It's a book of holy surrender. It's courageous. It's emotional. It's deeply honest. And it is exactly what the world needs right now.""
