We Are Tamar

She was violated. She was silenced. She was told to hold her peace. But God documented her story. And He has not forgotten yours. Two women in Scripture share the name Tamar. One was a princess violated by her own brother and abandoned by a father who chose silence over justice. The other was a widow trapped by a system that denied her covenant rights and left her waiting for a promise that never came. Different wounds. Different stories. But in both, the pain was real, the silence was imposed, and God refused to erase them. This book is for the women who recognize themselves in Tamar. The women who sit faithfully in the pews, serve faithfully in ministry, and yet carry a hidden pain they have never been able to fully name. The women who were told to forgive before they were ever allowed to grieve. The women who brought their wound to authority and were handed silence instead of justice. We Are Tamar walks through the emotional and spiritual landscape of trauma, rejection, the failure of authority, and the long road back to wholeness. It is a pastoral, biblical, and deeply human conversation about what happens to a woman's soul when she is wounded by those she trusted — and what God says about her healing, her dignity, and her destiny. You are not defined by what was done to you. You are not finished. And God is not done with you.
