GIRL UNDONE

One girl’s story of cancer and recovery…

Who are we after trauma?

“I had not even entered the real battle yet, and I was mortally terrified of that reality. As I sat sobbing in my hospital bed, I became woefully aware that my future was going to be a very lonely journey.”

At sixteen Stephanie’s life came to a crashing halt. Over the next year she would fight for her life and in the process finds herself undone by the trauma she experienced. In search of hope she found her true identity. A heartbreaking yet hopeful coming-of-age story that is filled with grace and mercy and a young teenager whose life is transformed by them. A story of discovery. “It’s impossible to see the view from a mountain top, when traveling through the dark and cold valley. But that doesn’t mean the mountain top experience won’t one day happen. When is the question all tend to ask, especially in the darkest hour.”
