This is the true story of Robin Meade and how her life growing up was not that enjoyable and the difficulties she endured. She shares how her family was dysfunctional and her mother was controlling and very concerned about how others persevered the family, it was all about appearances. Her mother lived the life she always wanted by controlling Robin to do only what her she wanted. Robin dealt with this by holding everything in and burying it to forget the past, however, as an adult she found the past came back to haunt her. Can she survive the future by dealing with the past? How did her faith play a part?
I would recommend this read to those that have a past they have buried or want to forget, those that have had very emotional and traumatic past. This is a short read that keeps to the details and point very well. Robin is very honest with what she dealt with and teaches how to get through it with the help of GOD. This is a real book, written to help and change your life for the better.

About the Book
Author: Robin Meade
Genre: Nonfiction
Release Date: March 5, 2020
When the Bible talks about the third- and fourth-generational curse, that’s so true. If the curse is not broken by you, then who will stop it dead in its tracks? Dealing with forgotten pain, things you stuff down just to survive, is serious business. But that’s what Robin Meade did. Growing up, she was criticized, put down, and stomped on—by her own family. She chose to bury her pain.
Fierce Wholeness: Finding Myself after Childhood Emotional Trauma is Robin’s story—in all of its raw and messy but authentic and beautiful transparency as she unpacks the trajectory of her life from childhood to adulthood and seeks to repair the dam that had been busted, the riverbed that had been washed away, the landscape that had been obliterated by her family of origin.
Readers who grew up in the clutches of the branches of emotional abuse will be empowered by Robin’s story because of the freedom that Jesus gives. Robin’s story is raw and authentic, and readers will be encouraged by how they too can find fierce wholeness in Christ.

More from Robin
There’s a level of ‘fierce’ that we all need to reach in our journey with Christ; to be real about the journey. When you experience abuse as a child, there is a ‘normal’ way of perceiving your surroundings that’s set, and if not corrected, stays with you into adulthood. My desire for this book is that people who have suffered childhood emotional abuse know they are not alone, that they can experience of healing through a relationship with Jesus Christ. The Bible talks about being ready to give an account and running the race striving for first place and working out our salvation with fear and trembling – some of that has been lost in our Christian culture. Jesus isn’t a wimp or a doormat because he is kind and forgiving and neither should we be. I hope my story will be a blessing to many in their faith walk, to get to their level of ‘fierce’.
