About the Book
“Memory in the Mirror” is an evocative account of one woman's struggle against the shadows of her past. Janine Ellis-Fynn candidly recounts her traumatic childhood, marked by her mother's mental illness, and the harrowing experience of being raped by a 'friend' at the age of 18. The heartbreak continues as she faces an unwanted pregnancy at 22, pressured by her boyfriend to undergo an abortion, which plunges her into a devastating grief that leads to an almost fatal suicide attempt. In surviving this darkest hour, Janine embarks on a quest for meaning and redemption, eventually finding solace and purpose in her faith. Her journey is beautifully illustrated through the metaphor of a caterpillar undergoing metamorphosis, transforming within the cocoon to emerge as a butterfly—a symbol of hope and renewal.
Memory in the Mirror is written with raw vulnerability and unflinching honesty. Janine's storytelling captures the essence of her emotional and spiritual journey, hammering home the themes of God's grace, love, and forgiveness in a uniquely inspiring way. She also bravely shares her own battles with mental illness, aiming to offer encouragement and hope to others facing similar struggles. This powerful memoir demonstrates how suffering and pain can be transformative, molding character and bringing forth beauty from ashes. Memory in the Mirror is a must-read for anyone who has experienced brokenness, heartbreak, or loss and has grappled with the profound question: "God, where are you when it hurts?"
