Shards of Grace: My story, His glory

By Ashley Sartin

Some stories begin in strength.

This one begins in fragility.

Born three months early and weighing barely more than a pound, Ashley Sartin entered the world fighting for life. What followed was a journey marked by loss, trauma, broken relationships, chronic illness, and moments that felt impossibly dark. Each chapter carried its own fractures, pieces of a life that often seemed beyond repair.

Yet grace has a way of working through broken places.

Shards of Grace is an honest and deeply personal memoir about surviving pain and discovering that brokenness does not disqualify a life from redemption. Through stories of childhood loss, destructive relationships, chronic pain, motherhood, faith, and the slow work of healing, Ashley shares how God met her not after everything was fixed, but right in the middle of the mess.

This book does not offer easy formulas or shallow answers. Instead, it offers something far more powerful: truth.

Inside these pages you will find reflections on:

- surviving trauma and abuse
- living with chronic illness
- rebuilding marriage and family
- the role of community in healing
- faith that endures through suffering
- learning to see purpose in a painful past

Shards of Grace is for anyone who has ever wondered if their past has broken them beyond repair.

It is for the person quietly carrying shame.
For the person rebuilding after loss.
For the person searching for hope in the middle of pain.

Broken stories are not wasted stories.

Sometimes the sharpest shards of our lives become the very places where grace begins to shine.
