Publisher's summary

Have you been to that Hell where weeping wasn’t enough?

Where the harshest words can’t describe your suffering? Where can hope be found? This inspiring story shows how strong the human spirit can be! An epic memoir of resilience, forgiveness, and God’s miraculous love that will tug at your heartstrings, uplift the soul, and strengthen your resolve to overcome even the darkest of trials.

The author’s dysfunctional upbringing was fueled by an abusive, alcoholic stepfather and a mother battling her own demons with drugs. Sohma and her little sister learned to mimic their mother’s codependent tendencies, while their brothers mimicked the chemical addictions prevalent in the home. Devastating ramifications would spread like wildfire to all involved.

Sohma felt trapped, married to a narcissist, and marred by her broken past. She needed change but battling long-standing, pervasive patterns ingrained since childhood would prove challenging. In a wake of deception and greed, she was left homeless and penniless, yet this would become the turning point of her transformation. Sohma came to understand that far from being avoidable and pointless, pain has a guiding and even inspiring purpose.

Finding Diamonds in Dungeons can help you:

• Redefine failure
• Remove self-destructive patterns
• Replace victimhood with gratitude
• Restore faith in God
• Reveal a powerful truth about pain

It’s the perfect listen for those who’ve suffered trauma from addictions, codependency, and/or narcissistic behavior and inspires a greater level of gratitude for the diamonds around and within us.

A rare gem, an incredible story!

I loved this book and had a hard time putting it down once I got started. Sohma does an amazing job of reeling you in and telling her story. Her words spoke to me in a way that made me feel the depth of her excruciating pain. I have a greater appreciation for the strength and perseverance of the human spirit and what some people are forced to endure. More importantly how pain can serve us, purify and exalt us to new heights and spiritual awakening. I highly recommend this book and hope Sohma has more for us in the future.

Writers narrative completes the books purpose....

The writers narrative of her book really brings the book to life. I have enjoyed the book and how it has brought several of my own life experiences to the surface. Her ability to share her stories of real life events and trials are full of sincerity. I have been immersed in the emotion of her experiences and the stories so many of us could share of our own if we had the same talent, and guts to do so. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful story of resilience

I was touched by the honest, vulnerable, way that Sohma shared her experiences in her own words. I would recommend this to everyone.
