Overview

I was raised to be fearful; and then rejected for being fearful plus I have Tourette syndrome; I was made to believe I was a complete failure no matter which way I went. A Broken and Crushed Heart Restored follows Helene M DeWitt's recovery from the abuse and neglect she endured because of her undiagnosed Tourette Syndrome. Helene's story begins in the 1950s, born to a mother who had herself been heartbroken in life. At home, her mother rejected her and disapproved of all her uncontrollable tics, and at school, she was often rejected. With no social or medical support, Helene often went to bed afraid and woke up afraid, unprepared for the life that stretched beyond her. Helene survived some harrowing heartbreaking experiences. In the darkest moments of her life, she found salvation and recovery through God who had protected her and bolstered her mental resilience. Through the community of the church and other biblical ministries, she rebuilt her life with the support she needed, eventually healing from her painful memories. Despite the fear and heartache, Helene writes her memoirs with strength and a gratefulness for receiving the word of God in her time of need, showing that even the most broken spirit and crushed heart can be restored.
