Broken but Not Defeated

About the Book

The worst of times can sometimes be the catalyst to the best of times. At the age of forty-seven the author’s worst time dragged her into a whirlpool of self-pity. While suicide was knocking on her door, God sent an angel to save her life. God seems to delight in choosing unlikely saviors; Moses the stutter and Noah the alcoholic are two. The angel God sent to this author was a quadriplegic named Angelina Ayudar. With perfect timing, Angelina threw a lifesaver into the whirlpool that was taking the author down. After working a few months with Angelina, the author realized that this quadriplegic was living the fulfilled life the author craved. Little by little Angelina taught the author how to live a spirit-filled life, and this has made all the difference. The characters in the book have been given anonymous names in order to protect everyone involved. The events in this book occurred over twenty years ago, and many of the characters are deceased, including Angelina and Silass. Everything in this book is as true as the author’s twenty-year-old memory can make it.
