Shattered Dreams, Bondage, and Hope

By Dee Thompson

The author describes, in her aunt's words the turbulent and often traumatic past of a woman who struggled to overcome her past and traditions; and establish her own identity as a scholarly, bilingual achiever. Sariah grew up in the early 1900s on the Navajo Reservation. As an uneducated, non-English-speaking young girl, her life was largely influenced and dominated by the ancient teachings and practices of her culture, until she was abruptly introduced to a very different and ominous evil that held her captive for many years. Cornered and driven to desperation, she cried out and sought deliverance from death and despair. In her hour of distress, Sariah discovered there is a far greater power that can overcome the grip of evil. From childhood through her twilight years, Sariah encountered many shattered dreams and heartaches. But in all her tribulations, she stubbornly clung to the belief that whatever circumstances she faced, the divine higher power who delivered her and sealed her future is also faithful and true. This hope and assurance gave her true freedom to rise above adversity and become a woman of God.
