Secondhand Cindy - Softcover

Peace. Happiness. Well-being. Isn’t that what we long for, not just in our world but in ourselves? Imagine a person who is crushed deep within, perhaps by others, or maybe even by themselves. In this story, it is a woman, but it could easily be a man ... anyone whose past haunts them. How can they find that peace? Where does someone take their wounded soul to shelter it from the ravages of life? “Secondhand Cindy” is an allegory about such a woman. She is tortured by her secrets, but finds herself being pursued by a kind man with a secret of his own. One day the fabric of her life starts to unravel, threatening the happiness which she so desperately wants. All her attempts to hide her shame come to nothing, and she ends up clinging to the tattered rags of her existence as the layers of her secret peel away. Based on a true story, “Secondhand Cindy” is a compelling confirmation that true love can be startlingly strong and amazingly enduring.
