Synopsis
“I don’t remember asking God if this was His plan, but I remember being so destroyed that even if it was His plan, it didn’t matter.”
In The Faker and the Finder, Haley’s transparency of a “dirty soul” helps the reader become aware of a Divine relief for a heavily wounded spirit. An unveiling of the impact of tragedy and trauma on the mind and body, she takes the hand of the reader and walks them step-by-step through her journey of trying to fake her way back into feeling alive. The Finder’s restoration plan for her existence and eternity revealed a Father who would not surrender control.
Haley’s hope and prayer for you in The Faker and the Finder is that your feet will begin to feel back on solid ground, but in a way that you’ve never experienced before. She uses the term “aware” throughout the book to show you how essential it is to healing. Are you ready to give someone else the lead? Are you tired, weary, or are you a poster child for panic? Are you ready to have the threads of your robe re-stitched? Looking back at the reflection of your story, you might just stand in awe when you realize the great orchestration.
