What’s in Your Suitcase? Recovery from Childhood Trauma

Coming in 2027

If past traumas have locked you into survival mode, this book is for you. What’s in Your Suitcase? Recovery from Childhood Trauma provides specific tools to help you move from wounded to wholeness. It’s not about erasing the past. It’s about transforming our pain into purpose.

Written by a fellow survivor, this book addresses the millions of adults navigating the long shadow of trauma. Drawn from a biblical perspective, the book likens recovery to a journey. It uses real-life stories and illustrations to clarify the concepts shared in the book.

Discussion questions are included at the end of each chapter to help you work through the book with a supportive group. A section titled “God’s Nurturing Words to You” is also included to help you process your emotions as you read Scripture related to the issues covered in each chapter. Find freedom from your trauma. Journey with fellow survivors toward experiencing life’s full potential.

A small beta group studying a pre-pub copy of the book will be run in September 2026 for sixteen weeks. If you would like to participate in this beta reading, contact Marie Sontag at mesontag@gmail.com.
