Grief touches all of our lives, but it does not have to paralyze us with fear or inaction. God allows suffering because He knows how powerful it can be to our spiritual lives and to helping us fully embrace His love and mercy.

Large print edition of Sophia Grace's original book: After the Violence. Whether you personally experienced abuse, have a family member caught by violence, or have dedicated your life to serve this fragile part of our society, this story will plead with you, the reader, to enter into the emotional and confusing mess of leaving domestic violence. Sophia Grace displays a unique ability to weave between a variety of writing styles as she illuminates the pain, courage, and dedication it takes to rebuild a family after the original violence has ended. She covers topics rarely seen from a mother's perspective: child trauma, adolescent suicide and depression, struggles with autism, parenting, intimacy after rape, pornography, police intervention, spirituality and religion, and secondary trauma. As an autistic, single mother, her interpretation of life can bring a bit of levity to an otherwise overwhelming and painful situation. After the Violence is a "must read" for professionals working with abuse victims and survivors. Sophia brings her readers to their knees in tears, then makes them laugh, and finally rekindles their commitment to serve.
