Gia's Salvation

By Lucy H. Delaney

Even Sad Souls can be saved…

Gia’s salvation comes slowly and quite unexpectedly. After giving birth to her little girl, Gia’s life, full of addiction, depression, and abuse explodes into a furious mess of instability. She bounces from place to place struggling to navigate all the horrors that consume her thoughts and ruin her best of intentions.

When the young mother’s abusive relationship spirals too far into dangerous territory, she knows things have to change. Disgust with herself for bringing her special child into a horrible situation rages inside her. Desperation to find escape fuels both her addiction and determination to leave. As Gia tries to make her own way and navigate out of the darkness, things only get worse.

Then slowly she finds hope; in sleepy forgotten places, in a stranger’s unusual kindness, in natural wonder, in a mentor’s consistent presence, in her child, in her own musical gifts, in awakening dreams, and at last in a safe, savior’s embrace that just might be able hold her together through it all.
