Brenda Gauper: Breaking Free - A Story Of Overcoming Trauma and Abuse
Brenda’s hopes and desires are for her story to touch women and girls still suffering from domestic violence, alcohol/substance abuse, or any form of abuse. “May you be made whole,” she says to her readers.
In BREAKING FREE, Brenda L. Gauper shares a poignant and powerful narrative of her childhood and the challenges she faced growing up with a manic-depressive mother. Through her story, she aims to shed light on the impact of mental illness on families and the resilience required to overcome such adversities.
As an adult, Brenda acknowledges the fallout from her childhood and how it contributed to the trauma she experienced as an adult, including domestic violence and alcohol abuse. And importantly, how she was able to transcend past pain to create a loving and successful life.
Join us to meet Brenda and and hear her message of hope and transformation for others who may have faced similar challenges.
