A Story of Faith, Resilience, and Survival
Memoir / Self-Help
Date Published: March 30, 2022
Publisher: Fideli Publishing, Incorporated
A cathartic experience that examines both the power of determination and
the will to survive.
In her memoir, Getting To My Enough, Dr. Marie Brown Mercadel describes her
remarkable journey of persevering through unspeakable childhood sexual
trauma, the loss of a baby at an early age, and her tenacious resolve to get
to her enough. Her frank and detailed descriptions of her life experiences
are riveting and provide proof that it is possible to achieve personal
triumphs in spite of the odds.
She is courageous in writing about the deep-seated emotions that caused her
to be overwhelmed with self-doubt, fear, and shame for much of her adult
life. Her acts of forgiveness and the adoption of self-love represent an
important source of her healing.
Getting To My Enough reveals how a broken and damaged girl gained inner
peace, affirmed the positive aspects of her life, and embarked on a mission
to mentor and motivate women dealing with similar issues.
EXCERPT
“Through dealing with more than three years of sexual abuse by a person whom I should have been able to trust, I learned how to hold in my emotions, mask my pain, and present a positive outlook to the world that indicated that life was good. The damaging approach to managing my reactions and having my voice silenced as a child took up residence in my mind as I dragged myself into adulthood”.
