Description
Hanging on Hope details the story of Judy Hegstrom, a story of abuse not so different from the secret lives of many other women. In her own words, she tells of the struggle to hold on and raise children in a violent home, weaving through pain, divorce, and finally reconciliation and remarriage to the man who abused her. She shares this journey of faith and hope in an honest portrayal of a relationship destroyed and restored.
Through this book, Hegstrom thoughtfully retells how she held on through the trauma and shares what she learned through the process.
Hanging on Hope will help readers discover what to do when they feel powerless, learn how to overcome co-dependency, and gain understanding about their own relationship through insightful self-tests. Whether in an unhealthy relationship or desiring to support a friend or loved one facing abuse, Hanging on Hope offers much needed help.
Advance Praise
“I am no stranger to abuse. I’ve lived through it in my early years. Paul and Judy Hegstrom lived through it too, and then God did a miracle. He healed and completely restored their lives. Get ready for intense drama as Judy candidly tells her story of being beaten, battered, and abused. If there was only one book I could recommend for couples in abusive relationships, it would be Hanging on Hope.”

“There are many self-help books out there on anger management or improving your marriage, but what victimized women really need in their most discouraging moments are books written by other victims. To know that there are others out there who’ve experienced what you are going through gives tremendous comfort.”

“Judy, I started your book and couldn’t put it down. I walked with you through the ups and downs of your marriage to Paul. As I felt your pain, I felt the strength you received from God. I feel I can now face some of my pain more effectively. Many will be helped by your honesty. The word “integrity” comes to mind when I think of you and Paul. Thank you for sharing.”

“Like many of the women Judy mentions, I was once again ready to walk down a familiar path, which would include the cycle of abuse. By reading this book I was able to recognize and stop this destructive behavior in myself. This is a must-read for women and men.”

“Judy’s transparency brings so much validation. Her book is one of a kind, a must-read for all men and women to see what goes on behind closed doors. I found permission to tell my own story as I read through the pages. Her story is a story of redemption and truth. Praise God for her bringing us hope.”
