My Journey with Jesus** is a two-part testimony of survival and faith. Part One tells the true story of Louise Patterson, born in New Haven, Connecticut, with medical struggles she didn't choose and a childhood marked by abandonment and abuse. From a father figure who taught her what love could feel like, to the man who exploited her family's trust, to the courage of a twelve-year-old who built a case against her own abusers, to the hospital stay, the foster home in Shelton, and the long, unglamorous work of becoming a mother, a grandmother, and a voice for others - this is a memoir that does not look away from the truth, because Louise learned long ago that silence is its own kind of prison. Part Two carries that testimony forward into a 23-chapter devotional journey, walking through the seasons every believer eventually faces: hope in difficult circumstances, trust through unresolved trials, healing after brokenness, the discipline of forgiveness, the practice of prayer, and a faith that chooses to walk by trust rather than by sight. Each of the book's thirty-eight chapters closes with a Scripture verse and a personal reflection, turning one woman's story into a companion for anyone still finding their own way through the dark toward morning. Together, the two halves of this book form a single message: no one is too broken, too forgotten, or too far gone to be met by God and made new.
