And Now I am Healed: From Brokenness to Restoration , an incredibly personal and uncensored story, explores how hurt can open the door to meaning. The author, Schantel Thomas, shares her compelling memoir, which includes her single mom, absent father, illness as a child, domestic abuse in her early adulthood, family support and Godly legacy, relationship with God, how singing helped her heal, and journey of transformation. In this narrative, she reveals numerous anecdotes, imparts lessons, and gives the reader an opportunity to journal about trauma to process their healing step by step as a self or group study. Schantel Thomas is an artist, educator, formidable host of the “No More Silent Tears” television show and podcast; creator of courses and lectures at Central Texas College; former TV host on KPLE; and correspondent for the Killeen Daily Herald, all centered around personal transformation. In addition, she is a devoted wife of a retired Army Veteran, a mother of two daughters, who carries the strength and endurance that military life instills. Schantel’s journey has been a symphony of triumph over adversity. Now she stands tall as living proof that, in the face of darkness, the human spirit can shine its brightest.
