Ocean Star – A Memoir

March 12, 2007 by Susan

Ocean StarNow here is a book you simply must read. Ocean Star tells an incredible story of triumph over suffering and redemption through forgiveness.

Christina’s life story could not have been more dramatic if a Hollywood screenwriter created it. Her life and this memoir are as intense, emotional and complex as a carefully crafted novel.

Christina survived a childhood of abuse and neglect, yet she never blamed God. Instead she turned her heart to Him and listened so closely that she learned to hear His voice speaking softly but clearly in her heart.

Everyone regardless of his or her own personal history can learn from Christina’s story. But especially if you had darkness in your childhood, you simply must read this book as Christina has opened her soul to share her healing with you.

    Thanks for the recommendation. I bought this book and read it. It was really good.

    I’ve got a contest going on my blog to give my copy away if anybody is interested. I linked to this blog post since you inspired me to buy the book.

    I am a woman who lived an abusive childhood. I am the mother of 4 sons, 3 by adoption who were severely abused as infants. This book is a must read for me.

    Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
