After years of learning what it truly means to move from avoiding pain to abiding in God's presence, Mary felt called to put that journey into words. Her debut book, From Avoiding to Abiding, was born from a desire to remind others that healing is possible, hope is real, and no story is beyond God's redemption.

If you have endured sexual trauma, you may carry deep, invisible wounds
that shape your identity, relationships, and even your walk with God.
But you are not alone.
From Avoiding to Abiding is a Christ-centered invitation into healing, guiding readers through honest reflection, renewed faith, and the freedom found in the presence of Jesus.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Psalm 147:3
From Avoiding to Abiding was born from a deeply personal journey through pain, healing, and the faithful presence of Christ. With honesty, biblical truth, and gentle encouragement, Mary invites readers to discover that healing doesn't come from ignoring our wounds—but from bringing them to Jesus.
"I pray these pages become a companion in your own journey toward healing, hope, and abiding in Christ."
