A Tatterdemalion's Testimony: One Woman's Story of Surviving Trauma to Discover Faith and Redemption - Paperback

by Sarah Vigue (Author)

"There are things I need to tell you-or rather, things I'm not supposed to tell you."

A tatterdemalion is someone worn thin by hardship, ragged, overlooked, and barely holding on. When God came for Sarah, that's exactly who she was.

Battered by trauma and surrounded by mental illness, Sarah didn't expect God to come for her. Then He did. This unflinching Christian memoir traces a gritty path from skepticism to surrender-and the healing that followed.

In this gritty yet grace-filled testimony, the #1 bestselling author shares her reluctant journey into faith. Skeptical of the church and terrified of the unseen, she steps into a spiritual world she never imagined-one that challenges her doubts, identity, and sense of belonging. Along the way, she discovers the God who sees, heals, and redeems even the most shattered places.

What You'll Experience in A Tatterdemalion's Testimony:

• An honest account of trauma and mental illness that doesn't minimize pain or hope.
• A raw, unfiltered story of survival and the search for meaning.
• How faith walked with, not around, the hardest moments.
• A vulnerable journey from skepticism to belief, showing that doubts can be transformed.
• A reminder that no one is too far gone to be remade by God's grace.
• Hope for anyone who has ever felt on the outside looking in.
• Practical glimpses of healing, community, and God's nearness in the dark.

If you're longing to see how light breaks through darkness or if you've ever wondered whether God could love someone as broken as you, step into a powerful story of redemption, resilience, and the God who never lets go.

For readers who appreciate Christian memoirs or faith-forward memoirs and testimony stories that hold both truth and tenderness.
