Broken Narratives Nydia Pastoriza

For many of us, we come from a very checkered past. One that is filled with hurt, pain, and levels of trauma we wouldn't wish on our worst enemy. Because of this fact, we've learned the art of creating and wearing masks. We've learned how to function in dysfunction. We walk in fear, shame, and guilt because of the brokenness we either inherited or created. We would rather pretend that life is great rather than have others discover our truth. We settle in our minds that we are no good beyond what our pasts dictate. But what if I told you that purpose rests in every broken, checkered piece of your life, would you believe me? While reading this book, I want you to develop a sense of hope; that there is hope for your life. I want you to start believing that you, too, are worth the ring, worth the 2nd chance, worth moving forward, or whatever it is you've convinced yourself you're not worthy of. I share intimate, transparent moments of my life, some painful, some amazing. Why do I share? Because God chose me to do so. He showed me that through the broken pieces of my life, another woman could be set free. I am just an ordinary woman like you, still on this journey to discovering her authentic self. So far, I've come to know God like never before and I've discovered a deep-rooted strength inside of me I never knew existed. And I want the same for you. I invite you to join me on this journey!
