Strength Of Scars
At just three years old, I was faced with an unimaginable choice: to try and save my mother from a raging fire, or watch her scream in flames. With my father unconscious from alcohol, I was the only hope for my mother. I hugged her with my tiny arms as flames consumed us both. I suffered severe burns, and tragically, my mother didn’t survive.
About The Book
What followed was a life no child should endure. My fight for survival was only the beginning of a journey marked by pain, loss, and a battle to find hope. I was adopted into an American family, but the idea of a loving home was a distant dream. Instead, I faced abuse and rejection.
Through the darkest of days, I discovered that even in the midst of deep sorrow, there was a flicker of light. It was in the quiet whispers of faith, the strength of my spirit, and the grace of God that I found the courage to rebuild. This book is the story of my survival – overcoming unimaginable odds, to heal a heart that was shattered.
This isn’t just the story of a child’s trauma — it’s the story of resilience. Finding grace in the face of unimaginable hardship, and the unshakable faith that carried me through. It’s a journey from fire to ashes, from a broken past into a life of renewed hope.
About The Author
Avonley Lightstone
My name is Avonley Lightstone, and I am the author of “Strength of Scars”. This book is a reflection of my journey-a story that began with unimaginable loss and has grown into one of resilience, hope, and love. As a little girl, I faced the heartbreaking tragedy of losing my mother in a fire, followed by being placed in the orphanage when my father couldn’t care for me. These early scars, both visible and hidden, shaped the woman I’ve become and the message I share today: that we all have scars, whether physical or emotional, and it’s through facing them that we find our strength.
