Pamela Rawls did not expect to have to pick up the pieces and start over after 20 years of marriage. As life would have it, that is what she had to do. It put her on a new path of self-discovery that she had not anticipated. It also meant coming face to face with the hurts from her past spanning back to childhood.Bruised Apples takes a candid look at ways to help women overcome some of life's challenging circumstances concerning self-worth, body shaming, past hurt, and forgiveness on the path to healing and wholeness.In Bruised Apples, Pamela invites you on a walk with her, sharing her personal journey of how she began to heal through self-care, self-examination, and spirituality. Each chapter includes an affirmation "Apple Seed", spiritual fruit, and what the author coins as "self-work" in the Speak Your Truth section. Her transparency is both refreshing and inviting. Come, take a walk.
