ABOUT THE BOOK

Tattered Essence, an autobiographical account of a young girl’s journey through a tumultuous childhood, horrific experiences and how she made peace with herself and her life. In a time of fragility for many people, Tattered Essence serves as an example of perseverance and above all, shows our need for an intimate relationship with God.

As she copes with abduction, violence, subjugation, drugs, alcohol, depression, and self-mutilation, Sydney winds her way through her early teen years in a mixture of self-destruction and hopelessness. Through the many painful experiences Sydney was  forced to endure or had brought upon herself, she slowly begins to realize that love is her most valuable possession. Only through God does Sydney recapture the love, devotion and faith that she was so often lacking in her most fragile years.

Teens today, especially young women, can benefit wholly by the experiences so honestly recounted in this inspirational biography. Sydney’s story serves as a reminder to us all that even through immense hardship and suffering, love can be reborn. If Tattered Essence only accomplishes one thing, Sydney prays that is that women of all ages will be inspired, encouraged and determined to discover their own innate worthiness.
