Have you ever reached a point in your life where you feel like you can't go on? Do you want to quit because of something that may have happened in the past, and the trauma haunts you? If so, Through Withered Weeds, Flowers Bloom by B. E. Thompson is the best read to help you transform your inner negativity and embrace the fact that everything thrown at us can be a stepping stone to greater heights.
The author is the main character of the story, and she explains how her life has never been a roller coaster since her childhood: the sexual harassment of her stepfather, the lack of love and care of her parents, the illnesses of her siblings and her mother, and finally, no less, in a functional home. The trauma of living with all these problems changed the writer's outlook on life.
B. E. Thompson compares her life to a seed sown, and from a biblical perspective, she talks about the parable of the sower in Matthew 13. We have all gone through difficult times in life, and how we deal with most of them depends on what we want to achieve in life. The author did not let her past define her; she had to learn or experience life the hard way, but it was not her desire. You should not be afraid to face reality; fear is the killer of success, and to fight fear, you have to face it.
One of the quotes from the book that resonated with me is from Michelle Obama: "Your story is what you have and what you will always have. It is something that belongs to you." You can transform a negative story into a beautiful and aspirational story that inspires others to live their lives no matter what obstacles they have faced in the past.
The book was professionally edited and free of grammatical errors. I like to read because it's more of a reality check—some things that we may have experienced in one way or another. Chapter headings were a good choice because they help you understand what you are likely to expect from your reading and don't leave the reader with moments of despair. You flow with the story.
For the reasons mentioned above, I would like to rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. This is because I couldn't find anything that would cause me to give a lower rating than I did.
In conclusion, I recommend reading this book to anyone who has experienced or is currently experiencing past trauma and anyone who is on a healing journey. This is the best book to help you see life differently, and one thing I got from this book is that "it's not really where you start; it's where you finish that matters." You can change the story; it's never too late.
