My thoughts: I haven't read this book but have read portions and given it a brief scan. Mental health is often overlooked, ignored, scorned, feared, ridiculed, and just basically swept under the rug. That is until it hits a major nerve in the family or society. The author's journey through life with emotional or mental stability problems in her family is a personal journey that is shared with readers who wish to dip their toes into this murkey, often misunderstood, and ignored spiral.
The author details personal and family members actions with details of occasions and relationships, and the impact on herself and others. Often, these are not pleasant happenings.
I suggest that readers recognize this as one individual's journey and the harsh impact it has on her life. Accept that Pamela recognizes God in her journey letting the God of all illnesses, the God of all that exists hold onto her with His unfailing love and goodness.
NOTE: Currently, the mental illness of a young mother on trial for the criminal murder of her young children is headline news and is drawing attention to the plight of women under pressures of daily life, motherhood, hormonal issues, and possible abuse. Mental illness is a health issue that needs to be recognized and addressed. Medication is not always the answer. But God is always there waiting for our trust in and reliance on Him.
About the book: How do you dream when you've spent a lifetime in survival mode?
From the outside, Pam Good had it all together, working twice as hard, running twice as fast, and rarely showing a crack in her armor. But beneath the polished surface was a fragile heart torn by savage wounds in early life. Raised by a mother suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, Pam experiences rejection, shame, abandonment, and isolation. She learns to cope in silence, seeking validation through perfectionism.
Yet, after a lifetime of maintaining masks and self-made walls, Pam's survival mechanisms begin to break down.
In this gripping memoir into the depths of the darkness of mental illness, journey with Pam as feelings of unworthiness hold her prisoner, shame festers in secrecy, and rejection compounds in isolation. Pam's remarkable resilience is her only shield. Then she begins to question God, rejecting herself, and desperately hiding her scars from the world. Soon, Pam can no longer outrun the truth. Her darkest night descends as she plans to "tap out" of life.
For anyone tired of hiding, weary of the struggle, and wondering if true peace can ever be yours, He Never Let Go is a testament to the relentless grip of grace and the immense power of redemption. With unflinching realism, master storytelling, and the authentic hope of a faith that wrestles down results, Pam offers a hand to those ready to step into the light. He Never Let Go is a story of pain, desperation, resilience, and surrender, where only the Truth can lead you from the darkest caverns of self-abuse to the brightest path of abundant life.
Stop surviving. Start living.
