Raised by her grandmother in New Haven, Connecticut, Maritza Bond learned early how to carry what others could not. It began with a broken heel. After dinner at a restaurant, Maritza stepped outside and her heel snapped. She laughed, then sat alone in her car, and in the quiet she heard a whisper: 'This is the moment.' That is where this book was born.
A faith-filled memoir and devotional about how God still speaks through broken things. Every chapter ends with reflection questions and a declaration, so it can be read on your own or in a small group.
“Healing is a journey, and you are not alone.”
— Alfred D. Watts
