This is a challening read. It requires a narrator who enjoys expressing emotion from horror, fear, anger, dispair, torment, forgiveness, joy. It is a story from hell to hope. Healing through Ptsd and complex trauma. I hope you can accept this challenge.
Opposites attract and Chad and Sierra are that. Chad is destroyed on the outside by a suicide bomber while Sierra is damaged on the inside by human trafficking. They are each other’s reflection of who they are. Beautiful yet damaged by life.
While Chad struggles with his PTSD and Sierra struggles with the Complex Trauma from her past, they are there for each other. Along with God’s help, they will do whatever it takes to see the other survives.
Chad Michaels is an Afghan vet who comes home to a suicide bomber who destroys not only his family but the man he was. Now he must deal with the life of a burn victim and sees himself as a monster. But his friends and family as well as Sierra still see what a beautiful man Chad still is.
Chad realizes that not all scars are simply flesh. Many are inside one’s soul. Sierra Smith’s inner scars run deep. Yet, Chad sees her innocence that Sierra can not accept. Kidnapped at the young age of 6, Sierra became a high-end prostitute who now has dreams of becoming a nurse...someone who helps heal people not service them. But her past haunts her.
With the quiet assistance of God, Sierra and Chad are determined to be there for each other and help each other heal from their personal traumas that plague them daily. Somehow, they will survive to see a brighter day.
