The Girl Who Wouldn't Die [Paperback] Jones, Marianne and Stewardson, Linda

Abused. Abandoned. Addicted. Alone. As a child, Linda Stewardson suffered horrific abuse at the hands of her stepfather. After a particularly vicious attack, Linda was left for dead only to be revived in the hospital. Betrayed by the adults who should have protected her, she turned to life on the streets. Linda believed she had no value, until a life-changing encounter with Christ gave her a reason for living. The Girl Who Wouldn't Die shows that there is no pain too great or darkness too deep for God's love to transform. Marianne Jones is an award-winning poet and author of four books. Her work has appeared in Reader's Digest, Canadian Living, The Globe and Mail, and numerous other publications. She was named International Christian Poet Laureate in 2010 by the Utmost Christian Writers Guild. Marianne and her husband, Reg, have two amazing daughters and two beautiful granddaughters. Linda Stewardson is a wife and mother and a volunteer with the Canadian Mental Health Association. She is the recipient of the 2004 Courage to Come Back Award from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and has appeared on 100 Huntley Street.
