Life has a way of taking us on unexpected journeys, often leading us far from where we first started. For me, that journey spanned over 7,000 miles, both literally and figuratively. My new book, *7000 Miles,* is a raw, unfiltered exploration of the challenges, heartbreaks, and ultimate redemption that I experienced while navigating a life filled with love, loss, betrayal, and faith.
*7000 Miles* isn't just a distance—it's the space between who I was and who I am now. This book chronicles my transition from the comfort of home in the United States to the unfamiliar terrain of the Middle East, where I was tested in ways I never could have imagined. What started as a hopeful fresh start for my family and me turned into a battleground for my soul. The pages of *7000 Miles* are filled with the harsh realities of life as I faced them. From the challenges of homeschooling my children in a foreign land to the emotional turmoil of dealing with a husband who grew increasingly distant, the book reveals the raw truth of a marriage on the brink. I share the intimate details of discovering infidelity, the pain of betrayal, and the internal battle that ensued as I tried to reconcile my faith with the reality of my crumbling relationship.
One of the central themes of *7000 Miles* is the role that faith played in my journey. Moving to the Middle East, a place so different from what I had known, forced me to confront my beliefs in ways I never expected. It was in this desert, both literal and spiritual, that I wrestled with God, questioned His plans for me, and ultimately found a deeper understanding of His presence in my life. Through heartbreak and loss, I discovered that sometimes, the only way to heal is to walk through the fire, trusting that God is with you every step of the way. Despite the pain and betrayal, *7000 Miles* is also a story of healing and redemption. It's about finding strength in the most unexpected places and realizing that sometimes, the end of one journey is just the beginning of another. The book offers a message of hope to anyone who has faced similar trials, reminding them that even in the darkest moments, there is always a path to healing and a way forward.
Writing *7000 Miles* was a deeply personal and cathartic process for me. It was my way of making sense of the chaos and finding closure on a chapter of my life that was both painful and transformative. But more than that, I wrote this book for anyone who feels lost, alone, or betrayed. I want readers to know that they are not alone in their struggles and that there is hope and healing on the other side.
*7000 Miles* is more than just a memoir; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of faith. It's a story of love, loss, and ultimately, the journey towards healing and self-discovery. I invite you to join me on this journey, to walk with me through the valleys and the mountaintops, and to discover the strength that lies within us all. If you're ready to embark on a journey of your own—one that will challenge you, inspire you, and remind you of the power of faith—I encourage you to pick up a copy of *7000 Miles*. Let's walk this path together, and may we all find the healing and redemption we seek.
