No Longer Hostage

No Longer Hostage, the newest inspirational through-story by Sharonda Jones, author of Nevertheless: Peace In Spite Of Pain, takes readers on a journey that will challenge the meaning of love and forgiveness.

Sharonda navigates the end of her 12-year marriage and is forced to address issues of co-dependency from her childhood and previous relationships. Her first marriage sent her into the Department of Justice's witness security program, the second one was bound to send her into a downward spiral of depression. Learning from her mistakes, Sharonda makes therapy a priority. With counseling for herself and her children, she journeys through the stages of grief and acknowledges how the issues of her past not only worked against her in marriage but also in parenting.

In letting go of what she fears losing the most: her family, Sharonda receives her greatest dream come true; she is united with her father after 45 years. Overcome emotionally to finally have the chance to know him, Sharonda is surprised by a wall of rejection that causes her anxiety to go into overdrive.

Standing on her faith, she declares she is no longer confined to the fear of falling short or the pain of another failed relationship, but will it be enough to endure this new wave of abandonment and rejection she endured as a child? Or will she remain a hostage to her fears and insecurities?
