Together, Patrick and Donna explore:-The pivotal turning points that shifted her path toward recovery-The role of faith and community in rebuilding her life-How facing the truth about herself became the foundation for lasting change-The courage it took to break free from the same relationship patterns she’d been repeating for decades-Why hope is possible even in the darkest seasonsThis is a story about redemption, resilience, and the courage it takes to start over not just once, but as many times as it takes.
