Laurie Eberle grew up practically on her own in a rural area of Kansas. The daughter of an alcoholic father and an emotionally void mother, she became responsible and self-sufficient very early in her life. The 'survivor spirit' she attained, although it served her well in many aspects, did not come without emotional pain and residual effects on her life. As a grown woman, she experienced healing and restoration to these many areas of her life, and as a result, felt compelled to share her story. Certain that many others have experienced similar hardships, she desires to share her story of God's restoration so that they too can find hope, healing and restoration.
