Daughter of A King Carla Gaskins

Pain is mind-boggling and none of us want to experience it, but at some point in life, we will be delivered a portion of that very unfortunate thing. Some of life's experiences are heartbreaking, hurtful and even devastating. However, some surrender to it without fulfilling their purpose in life.
The story of King David's daughter, Tamar in the Bible, tells us how she was raped by her half-brother and it left her so devastated that she withdrew from the world. Her hopes of being a wife and mother were lost; she never lived a fulfilling life. She allowed what happened to rob her of the life of which she dreamed.
The women in this book refused to allow life to rob them of what God promised. The stories will either move you to think differently or empower you to overcome what life has thrown at you. Let Tamar's life be a reminder to us that no one is exempt from the pain and tragedy of life; no matter your race religion or economic status. We all will face something in life that will make us want to withdraw from the world.
