Golden Girl: One woman’s journey to surviving trauma, learning resilience and finding joy

Is it possible for a young woman to endure trauma and survive - even thrive?

Golden Girl is the remarkable story of a courageous young woman’s journey to overcoming the deep losses and injuries of an abusive relationship. The ‘golden girl’ of the title is Hazel, a delightful, trusting young woman whose innocence and joy are shattered in unexpected circumstances. Living in a time and culture where women’s experiences of abuse were met with condemnation, not compassion, Hazel faces devastating life decisions with deep determination, borne of her trust in the loving presence of God.

Sensitively written, Golden Girl testifies that liberation, hope and joy can grow out of even the bleakest circumstances.
