My Story
I held my breath watching the Olympic gymnasts’ abuse testimony before Congress, bracing myself against a PTSD episode of my own in response.
Weinstein, Epstein, Hefner, Cosby… names that represent mankind’s disturbing sin reverberate within me. Many stories remain deeply hidden, scarring the souls of the abused and their abusers. Questions arise: How could this happen? Where was God? Is Jesus enough?
She Seems So Normal looks straight into the life of a woman uncovering her own long-hidden, heinous abuse. The picture of “put together Plastic Princess” on the outside, inside she’s dying, believing the enemy’s lies, and wondering what’s wrong with her faith. What she finds–through Jesus, mentors, and the work of the Holy Spirit–are avenues of recovery and restoration for her anxiety, trauma, and shame.
You can face your trauma, be free from your past, and know hope in God’s abounding love.

Leigh! Your joy for the Lord and heart for Him shine through the darkness of what you’ve survived. “Jesus is the master of impossible resurrections.” Powerful words from a survivor who has lived them.
I’m sorry for what you’ve endured and I commend you for talking about it to help move God’s Kingdom forward. Keep writing and keep shining!
Thank you for sharing Leigh. Thank you Gary for another gem story of inspiration. Sometimes you go through the motions, emotions and symptoms until the day the Lord gives the label of Trauma. God bless♀️
I deeply resonate with your story, Leigh. Thank you so much for your bravery to speak your story and help others. Jesus is the Great Physician! Amen, read your Bible every day – our daily. May God bless you and keep you.
