Not Disqualified: (the hope and heartache that comes with repair)

We never truly know what we can count on in life, but surviving most of her worst fears all in one year certainly was not top on her bucket list of things she wanted to do that year. Throughout this book, Sheri Martin beautifully weaves a story of heartbreak and pain, as well has how she survived it. She speaks of the pain caused by religious systems and those unwilling to believe or understand her. She also shows the strength and resilience of our human nature when we need to survive trauma. Deeply central to her story is the belief that this was not all there was to her life - that she could recover, should recover, must recover - and go on to do more. Her path is a rocky one with many difficult places, but overall she clings to her faith that somewhere out there, Someone knows her and sees her and is walking beside her, helping her sustain what she is enduring. From art to therapy to writing this book, Sheri shows how there is not just one path to healing. She also shows the importance of the kindness and grace she found in people along the way. From pure rejection to a place of wholeness, Not Disqualified is a book about hope, restoration, healing, growth, and learning to love and trust yourself after deep betrayal.
