Now I am saying them.\u003cbr\u003eStill Standing is the true story of a little girl from South Georgia who grew up afraid, survived things no child should survive, and spent decades learning how to carry the weight of it — with faith, with poetry, and with a fierce determination to still be standing on the other side.\u003cbr\u003eFrom childhood abuse and rape at fifteen, to panic attacks, PTSD, and the long road of forgiveness — Marie “Arthur” Abad holds nothing back. Woven throughout with her own handwritten poems spanning five decades, this memoir-style guide walks alongside every survivor, every caretaker, every person who has ever needed to hear that God was there in the darkest moments — building something they could not yet understand.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book about survival. Faith. Forgiveness that sets you free. Loving your people fiercely while you have them. And learning that more good days than bad is a win.\u003cbr\u003eYou are not alone. You never were.\u003cbr\u003eStill Standing includes a companion appendix of handwritten poems written by Marie across five decades — from notebook paper in 1980 to the present day. These poems are not polished. They are real. They are the private words of a girl and then a woman trying to make sense of her life on paper. They are included here because healing is rarely neat, and neither is poetry written in the dark.\u003cbr\u003eWhether you are a survivor yourself, someone who loves a survivor, a caretaker worn down to nothing, or simply a person who has wondered if God was present in your hardest moments — this book was written for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTalk. Listen. Pray. Breathe.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45914198278335,"sku":"7713db20-3ca5-4f8c-9275-9899f84241c7","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/f343e1dfe825d746c0314c8f553e3145.jpg?v=1785055756","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/still-standing-a-survivors-guide-to-healing-faith-and-finding-yourself","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
