| Meet The Author
Rainee Grason is a new author who brings inspiration, encouragement, and hope to readers through her first book, Facing the Sky. More than an autobiography, these pages reveal how God broke through the darkness of a silent victim's struggle; how she accepted grace and freedom and began to really live, and not just have a life of existence.
As a young child, Rainee is molested by others outside her home; her father is an alcoholic before she is ten; and seeds of insecurity, anxiety, and guilt are planted.
|
|
At fourteen, Rainee becomes emotionally imprisoned by her relationship with a boyfriend who is two years older. She is raped; afterwards, the relationship continues.
Low self esteem creeps in and she looses sight of her own beliefs and values. Now sixteen and pregnant, ready to run away, Rainee comes to stand Facing the Sky in a life changing experience with God--an experience that will be forever blazed in her heart.
Rainee desired to write the autobiography as a testimony of the Lord's work in her life.
|
The story begins with that monumental moment when God extends His hand of grace, leading Rainee to freedom. Readers then experience the events of her childhood step-by-step in the Diary of Memories. Rainee then shares glimpses of her adult healing, challenging the reader to become more than a conqueror.
Having taken seven years to write, Rainee published Facing the Sky through Precious Grace Publications and Falcon Books in April 2008. Designated proceeds from the sale of each book are donated to organizations that support the identity and stopping of abuse.

Rainee plans a sequel, Waterfall of Tears, to share her adult emotional and spiritual struggle to find herself and God. She will write of the unexpected trials, pain, and heartbreak of trying to conquer her past and to become everything God created her to be.
Rainee plans to publish
Waterfall of Tears in 2012.

A letter from the author:
Dear Reader
Welcome to Facing the Sky, an autobiography of my childhood. It is written as a tribute to the Lord’s work in my life—for without Him, I would not have this story to tell. Facing the Sky, is not only my autobiography, it is my testimony.
