Some wounds don't heal on their own. Sometimes you have to go back for the girl you left behind.
The Girl I Had to Go Back and Save is a faith-based journey of healing for every woman who learned to survive by hiding behind strength, silence, and self-protection. If you have ever carried the pain of rejection, abandonment, or a broken identity-if you have ever felt unseen and unheard-this book was written for you.
With rare honesty and tenderness, ordained evangelist Kiesha Walker invites you to return to the little girl within: the one who learned to shrink her needs, perform for approval, and accept crumbs as connection. Drawing from her own story of instability, abandonment, and hard-won healing, Kiesha shows that the God who saw that little girl is still close to the brokenhearted-and that what was wounded can be made whole.
This is more than a book to read; it is an invitation to heal. Through biblical truth, prayer, reflection, and healing declarations, Kiesha gently guides you through the real work of restoration:
- Facing the pain of being unseen and unheard
- Understanding the fear that abandonment created
- Confronting the lies that shaped your identity
- Finding the courage to return to your inner child
- Gathering the broken pieces and rediscovering your worth
- Breaking generational cycles so they don't pass to those you love
- Becoming the safe place you always needed
Each chapter meets you where you are and points you toward the love of God, weaving Scripture with heartfelt reflection so you feel seen, validated, and never alone. It does not simply uncover pain; it leads you steadily toward freedom, wholeness, and joy.
You were never the problem. Your story matters. And it is never too late to go back for her.
For every woman longing for restoration-and for the daughters, sisters, mothers, and friends who need this message-The Girl I Had to Go Back and Save is a tender, powerful companion for the journey home to yourself, and to God.
What Others Say About This Book:
From the very first pages, this book drew me in with its vulnerability, wisdom, and truth. Kiesha writes in a way that reaches both the heart and the spirit. So many women have learned how to survive while silently carrying the wounds of their childhood, and this book gives language, hope, and healing to that journey. I believe this message is one that every woman should encounter at some point in her life. I am already thinking of the daughters, nieces, and women in my life who need this book in their hands. It is tender, honest, and incredibly restorative.
