Abandoned but NOT Alone
In Abandoned but NOT Alone, you’ll meet Gracie, a little girl whose innocent joy is shattered when someone she deeply loves and trusts abandons her.
Follow Gracie through the years as the pain of abandonment shapes her ability to trust, receive love, and build healthy relationships. Desperate to protect herself from being hurt again, she begins trying to control the people and circumstances around her, only to discover that control cannot heal the wounds of her past.
As Gracie’s story unfolds, you’ll walk alongside her through heartbreak, difficult choices,
and the longing to be loved and accepted. But her story doesn’t end in pain.
Through her journey, Gracie begins to discover hope, healing, and renewed joy. Most importantly,
she comes to understand the meaning of true love and recognizes that even
in the moments she felt most abandoned, she was never truly alone.
If you’ve experienced rejection, abandonment, or the fear of being left behind,
Gracie’s journey offers a reminder that your past does not have to determine your future.
Healing is possible. Hope is waiting. And you are not alone.
If someone seems dead inside, don’t give up hope.
– Keep trusting.
– Keep believing.
– Keep praying…
Luke 8:49-56
“Don’t weep, she hasn’t died.”
He said, “little girl, get up!” Her spirit returned and she stood up.
Interviewing
the Author
Gracie grew up in church, believing in God and knowing the importance of faith. Yet for many years, she remained trapped in the addiction of people-pleasing, searching for love and
acceptance in the approval of others.
The wounds of abandonment had shaped the way she saw herself and the relationships she built. Afraid of rejection and desperate to feel loved, she looked to others for acceptance, security, and healing that only her Heavenly Father could provide.
Jesus had never abandoned her. But for far too long, the pain of her past
had spoken louder than the truth of His Word.
Then one day, the words Jesus spoke to Jairus’s daughter in
Luke 8:49–56 became deeply personal to Gracie.
“Little girl, get up!”
Those words stirred something within her. Just as Jesus called the little girl to rise,
Gracie sensed her Heavenly Father inviting her to rise above the wounds of her past and
begin walking in the truth of who He said she was.
Those four words marked the beginning of a beautiful new journey.
As Gracie began spending time in God’s Word, her Heavenly Father
gently revealed something she had struggled to understand for years.
Her identity was never meant to be determined by the wounds of her past,
the opinions of others, or the labels the world had placed upon her.
Her identity was found in Him.
Through Scripture, she began discovering who her Heavenly Father said she was:
chosen, holy, dearly loved, valued, and never abandoned.
As His truth began replacing the lies she had believed about herself, Gracie discovered a new freedom.
She no longer had to look to others to determine her worth or earn the love and
acceptance she had been searching for.
The Holy Bible became the mirror through which she finally
began seeing herself through her Heavenly Father’s eyes.
And what she discovered changed the way she saw herself,
her past, and the One who has loved her all along.
Walk alongside the author as she courageously uncovers the layers of abandonment
and reveals how its wounds can affect people from every background and season of life.
Through her story, discover encouragement for your own healing journey and the lasting
love, hope, peace, and joy found in Jesus.
God calls you chosen, holy, and dearly loved
“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves…”
—Colossians 3:12 (NLT)
God knew Jeremiah before He formed him in his mother’s womb
and appointed him for a specific prophetic calling.
—Jeremiah 1:5
That promise belonged specifically to Jeremiah, but it reveals something beautiful about God:
He knows His children completely, and His purposes are never accidental.
Scripture also tells us that God formed you in your mother’s womb
and saw you before you were born.
—Psalm 139:13–16
You are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for the good works He prepared for you.
—Ephesians 2:10
Your identity was never meant to be determined by another person’s opinion, an old label,
a painful experience, or something spoken over you.
Other people’s words may have wounded you,
but they do not have the authority to define you.
God’s Word gets the final say.
Open the Holy Bible and discover what your Heavenly Father says about you.
Your identity is found in Jesus
You were created in God’s image
—Genesis 1:27
Book Excerpt
Scars are a good thing; they remind us of where we have been and what we have overcome. Abandonment is a lie from the enemy that we must choose not to believe and
adopt as our thought process.
Don’t pitch a tent and live in the lies.
Instead, move your tent,
and pitch it in the land of hope.
Move your tent. (Genesis 13:18)
I will live in Hope. (Acts 2:26)
