Review Quotes
Adele's book comes out of pure experience. Her fierce blend of determination and persistence, coupled with her heartʼs desire to be a spearhead of change is amazing.

Some books are written about overcoming trauma by people who have never experienced it. They lack the ability to emphasise and can only give an academic opinion. Adele has not only experienced trauma, she has learnt keys to overcome it. This is evidenced through her strong faith in Christ and her sense of identity and confidence in who she is. The scars of trauma from the past do not define the woman she is today. I know Adele personally and I have seen how she has turned the stumbling blocks of the past into stepping stones to a better future. Not only has she found freedom through trauma, but her life example is helping many woman to also rise above trauma in their lives. This book shares real life keys of how through faith in God, and belief in yourself, you can rise above trauma and grief and start a new chapter in your life.

Tūmanako (hope) is a powerful weapon to wield in the face of trauma. Past and present pain doesnʼt have to impact your tomorrow.
Like other weapons in our arsenal - whakapono (faith) is likened to a shield and the sacred words of God are likened to a sword. But tūmanako is a special kind of weapon - it is both offensive and defensive. Tūmanako protects our vision for what our healing and wholeness could look like and it clears the path for us to move forward into what lies ahead, not just for us, but for the next generation also. ADELE IS A HOPE CARRIER and in her book she enables people to process their pain and grow their hope in the pursuit of a more purposeful and powerful life.
