The Seed

A Story of Fertile Ground for Fear, Control, and God

De: Anne Priske

Narrado por: Anne Priske

"You follow me everywhere I go in the house. You want to be right there next to me. Lots of times you crawl up behind me, rub your head against my leg and hug my leg, too. I must admit you are kind of spoiled. Your father and I are trying to un-spoil you, so we slap your hands and say 'No!'" —My mother, writing in my baby book at age 6 months old

Some stories are told with words, others with a lie. Anne's childhood unfolded behind closed doors, a world where the facade of a happy home hid the reality of neglect, emotional abandonment, and abuse. In this lonely minefield, her spirit of self-worth struggled to survive, and the brokenness of unhealed trauma were shadows of those before her, unable to provide a safe place for love.

This isn't just a memoir of what happened; it’s a powerful exploration of how a life can be rewritten. In her thirties, a persistent feeling deep inside told her she would write a book. Through years of great adversity, this inner calling became a directive from God and the pulse that kept hope for something better alive. With raw honesty, she reveals how her faith became the anchor in a storm of anxiety, and how she learned to break free from the stronghold of unresolved anger and hurt.

This is a testament to the journey from living in survival mode to living with purpose. It is a guide to overcoming challenges, finding spiritual growth, and discovering a deeper, more meaningful way to live. If you have ever felt trapped by your past and are ready to pass a new legacy of intentional love to the next generation, this book is for you.
