What if the Essence you have been searching for has been within you all along?

Long before she understood His voice, God was already writing purpose into her story. Born into poverty and dysfunction, carrying wounds no child should bear, she left home at a very early age with nothing but trembling courage ? and a Father who never let go.

In this intimate spiritual memoir, D.Y.R. Román, a licensed mental health counselor with decades of experience walking others through healing, opens her own testimony: the wounded Child, the surviving young Woman, the Mother who fought for her family, and the God who was present in every season, even the ones she could not understand.

Through teaching, Scripture, personal vignettes, and prophetic words, these pages become more than one woman's story. They become an invitation into healing, identity, and the presence of the God who sees you, knows you, and calls you by your name.

Within these pages you will learn to recognize the voice of God in your own story, release the wounds and limiting beliefs that have shaped your identity, and rise as the person God designed you to be. Each chapter closes with a reflection, a prayer, and a declaration to make the journey your own.

Your story is still being written by the One who loves you most.
