Erica Anderson, an ordained minister, mother of eight, grandmother of eight, and nurse, witnessed and endured domestic violence through most of her life. In her inspiring book, Lessons from a Lifetime of Love and Loss, Erica shares how she was able to move from the cycle of abuse to a cycle of healing. Having had eight children, Erica learned a thing or two along the way, and she developed a pound of persistence and a ton of tenacity. She has always been a person to stand against injustices and systems that are hell-bent on destroying people. Through her life, Erica has drawn upon her deep faith in God to help her to rise above her circumstances and to help others achieve their God-ordained purpose in life. Erica believes, "Each day that God has granted me, I am a better person than I was before."
This book, a Springboard Story, includes journal prompts so that readers can be inspired by Erica's story to reflect upon their own life progress and write their own story. This experience will offer readers cathartic healing and genuine transformation as they too can move from the cycle of abuse to the cycle of healing. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."--Jeremiah 29:11
