Publisher's Synopsis
The Overcoming illuminates the power of love, resilience and the unwavering spirit that emerges from the depths of despair. This empowering memoir speaks to the indomitable strength within every woman, encouraging you to discover hope, rebuild and embrace life's unexpected twists with courage and love.
An early romance, marriage, and dreams of a family took a tragic turn when their first child, stillborn at six months gestation, shattered their world. Grief permeated every part of their lives, ultimately leading to the dissolution of a once-thriving marriage. Jacqueline, now broken, found comfort in the companionship of an old friend. However, this decision became her ultimate unravelling-months of emotional torture and complete isolation from loved ones.
Yet, amidst the darkness, an epiphany arrived-a road trip! In a quest for answers and self-discovery, Jacqueline embarked on a solo campervan adventure along Australia's east coast. What began as a transformative journey into the unknown, trusting her heart as a compass, took an unexpected turn just three days before completion-she hit rock bottom, literally-rolling the van on an isolated dirt road deep within the bush. From the wreckage of her life, Jacqueline emerged with a renewed determination to rebuild a life worth living.
Patiently waiting on the other side of fear are the most beautiful things one could never have imagined.
