Make Me New

In Karyn Gall Hippen's thirty-nine years, she has become a survivor, a person who has withstood the continual storm life throws her way, a person who has found God's love and mercy in the midst of ultimate tragedy. This is her story. When Karyn made the decision to forego a future similar to that of her parents and siblings, she had no idea how rough the waters would be. Incidents of sexual abuse from her adolescent years haunted her, warping her view of her self-worth, resulting in a string of bad relationships based on one fact-the man claimed to love her. After suffering an abusive engagement, a miscarriage, and losing a best friend to a navy transfer, Karyn believed she'd found hope for a good life with a man who seemed the opposite of her first fianceacute;. But soon after marriage she found her new life came with more difficulties than she was prepared to handle. A beautifully written, heart-wrenching, at times shocking memoir, Make Me New is a tale of survival you won't soon forget.
