We all encounter waves of difficulties in our lives--some strong waves, some continuous waves, and some subtle waves. Altogether, these waves can add up, so what do we do when overwhelmed with life's challenges? Who do we turn to? How do we find hope and healing?

Up from the Ashes, Finding Hope and Purpose: How to Rise Up and Embrace Your Resilience shares the story of author Dr. Tiffany Modica's journey through trauma, discovering her own resilience, finding hope and purpose through her faith in God, music, and overcoming diverse challenges such as human trafficking, foster care, abuse and neglect, and more. In it, she discusses her research on resilience and foster youth and attachment trauma and her work in supporting trauma survivors in trauma therapy. "You were created for a purpose," and you, too, can discover your own resilience and find hope as you join in the journey of this book.

The Moments of Reflection embedded within the text provides opportunities for listeners to reflect on their own journey and engage in contemplative growth moments to build upon. Dr. Modica's intention in writing this is to provide people with hope for the future, the knowledge that they are not alone, and opportunities for transformation, restoration, and recovery from trauma while emphasizing patience and kindness in the process of reclaiming your identity and purpose.
