The First Step Hurts
tricia hope ripley takes us on a compelling journey of her life into the valley of the dark shadows of human pain and suffering. Her courageous story resonates with heart-breaking truth, and occasionally brutal honesty which inevitably draws the reader into her struggles to navigate and adapt to this world as an amputee. She lays bare every raw human fear that dwells deep within us as she comes face-to-face with this foreign concept of herself as someone no longer considered “whole” in this society. tricia dares to answer the question, “Who am I when my outward self is uniquely different from others?” ms. ripley has revealing insights to share with her readers. She believes the “Why?” is answered by her pursuit of a closer relationship with God and in her helping others. tricia speaks candidly of the astonishing gifts that have flowed into her life out of this unknown landscape where suffering dwells. ms ripley has a depth of spiritual knowledge and growth that will confront the reader with her revelation that unconditional acceptance of life as it is, on its own terms, is, in the end, the ultimate gift of faith and grace. For tricia the Overcomer, this is victorious living!
