About the Author:
I am the published author of The Bronze Scar: Understanding How PTSD Feels, a book written to help readers understand what life with PTSD is like. That project was not faith-based and was intentionally solution-free—it served to build understanding and awareness. In contrast, Beyond the Scar is not PTSD-specific and focuses on healing from all forms of trauma. It is written from a distinctly Christian perspective, incorporates relevant Scripture throughout, and ends each chapter with a guided reflection, prayer, and thoughtful questions to help readers process and heal.
