Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk

A recently released memoir chronicles one woman’s path from childhood hardship in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to professional work aiding military sexual assault survivors. "From Inheritance to Purpose," by Nancy Powers, was released through Christian Faith Publishing, according to the publisher’s announcement.

The narrative outlines the author’s early years shaped by poverty, abuse, and paternal absence, then documents her pursuit of a master’s degree in clinical psychology and subsequent work supporting survivors of sexual violence., with a focus on the military community, per the announcement. This clinical expertise distinguishes the memoir within faith-based inspirational literature: Powers brings both personal experience of family trauma and professional credentials as a practitioner who has supported other survivors.

According to the publisher, the book centers on themes of resilience and healing, framed through a Christian understanding of identity and self-worth. In a statement accompanying the announcement, Powers expressed her hope that readers would see their resilience mirrored in her account and grasp that divine love transcends any injury they may carry.

Christian Faith Publishing, which released the book, operates as a publishing service that has put out a large volume of similar first-person inspirational and faith-themed memoirs. "From Inheritance to Purpose" is listed for sale in print and e-book formats through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple’s iTunes Store and Google Play, as well as through the publisher’s own website.

No release date beyond the announcement, page count, or additional publication details were provided. Readers interested in the book’s specific content or the author’s clinical work will need to consult the book itself, as the announcement offers only broad thematic description rather than excerpts or specifics.
