For years, I believed my story began with brokenness. Today I know it began with God's faithfulness. This is the story of a little girl who grew up in a home marked by fear, alcoholism, and abuse — and who spent years believing she had to earn the love, safety, and belonging every child deserves. KEPT is a memoir about what rejection teaches us to believe about ourselves, and what it takes to unlearn it. It is about the slow, faithful work of discovering an identity that was never lost — only hidden beneath fear, silence, and performance. Each chapter closes with a reflection question, and a Discussion & Reflection Guide at the end makes KEPT ideal for personal study, small groups, and women's ministries. If you have ever wondered whether you are truly seen, this book is an invitation to believe what has been true all along: you were never forgotten. You were always kept. Heal. Forgive. Grow. Become.
