Karen Augustine's Newly Released 'The Flight of a Sparrow' is a Heartwarming Story of a Woman Who Survived Abuse, Overcame All Odds, and Stood Ground
MEADVILLE, Pa., September 23, 2019 (Newswire.com) - “The Flight of a Sparrow”: a powerful healing journey of Grace, a woman who was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder as a result of her traumatic experiences of abuse. “The Flight of a Sparrow” is the creation of published author Karen Augustine, a writer who has created poems and has kept her many journals. She says her writing has been a gift, inspired by her late sister. When her triplet sister took her own life, Karen made a conscious decision to deal with the grief by gaining her life back and fighting for her freedom. Having gone back to school in 2007 at the age of 40, she managed to complete her high school, receive her diploma, and win a Bursary Award from Literacy Nova Scotia.
Augustine shares, “The Flight of a Sparrow is a true story about a young aboriginal woman whose life was chaos and darkness. The book tells of her struggles, challenges, and the abuse that was put upon her and how she coped in order to survive. It also describes the victory beyond the bare survival. It is about a journey of moving from a past into a future that God unfolded as she grew in her trust of his plan for her. It’s about a message to others that says, ‘Do not give up. You are not alone. You are a child of God.’
Visualize a run-down cabin with no prospect of ever being repaired because the damage is too great. The foundation is crumbling and its core has been eaten away by termites and wood ants. Its windows are broken, and the structure stands alone. It is surrounded by wet overhanging trees that refuse to let the daylight in. The only solution is to tear it all down.
On some level, Grace is this rotting and neglected cabin. Long before she was created, the familial foundation was unstable; the ground had not been properly prepared for such a structure. She had no one to fend off the invaders who came into her life to destroy what little identity she had managed to build. She had no one to help her grow into the woman that she should have been. No one was there to nurture her so she could reach her potential. What was the Carpenter going to do with this decaying mess?”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Karen Augustine’s new book is a stirring revelation in a woman’s life and the victory she found through God’s grace and timing. Here, one sees how Grace was able to take flight from the darkness she was enveloped in with the help of the Lord God.
