I wrote *Breaking the Shackles of Unforgiveness* because it reflects my personal journey from brokenness to healing. For years, I struggled to forgive myself for the sinful choices I made before graduating from high school. Later, the pain of two broken marriages led me to blame myself for my husbands' infidelity, leaving me trapped in guilt, shame, bitterness, and unforgiveness.
As I look back, I see that every stage of my life was part of God's process of restoring me. He taught me that true freedom comes through forgiveness—both receiving His forgiveness and extending it to myself and others.
For a long time, I wanted to keep my story hidden. But I realized my testimony could bring hope to others who are carrying the same burdens. I share my journey so others will know they are not alone. No matter how broken your past may be, God can heal your heart, restore your life, and lead you into the freedom found through forgiveness.
