I Sang Anyway
How would you feel if you trusted yourself enough to achieve your wildest dreams, no matter what painful events happened in your past?
As a child, Rachel Merrill endures emotional and physical abuse. Traumatized and unable to see herself as deserving of love, she turns to food for comfort. Writing and singing become her escape from reality, but hiding from her feelings only blocks her from recognizing her unique gifts and owning her truth. A sexual assault during her college years and a turbulent first marriage further erode her sense of self-worth.
“I Sang Anyway” is a poignant memoir of Merrill’s inspiring journey of self-acceptance, forgiveness, and healing. Her spiritual awakening begins with the death of a dear friend and with the help of professionals and spiritual guides, she discovers the path to inner calm and peace after a lifetime of suffering in silence. With honesty, warmth, and compassion, Merrill recounts the challenges of becoming a mother and a stepmom, letting go of the past, and learning to love herself. She offers spiritual wisdom and the tools for readers to reconnect to nature, heal deep emotional wounds, and find their inner voice. Hope always exists for a joyful, balanced and rewarding life, no matter how lost you may feel.
