I met my dad for the first time at a funeral when I was 14...
Twenty-two years later, he died.
This book is about everything in between.
As a little girl, I dreamt of one day meeting him. And when I finally did, the impact was greater than I ever could have imagined.
In my adult life, I entered every room, wondering: Do you see me? I hoped a record label could provide me with an identity, success, and approval. Then, I assumed my husband could redeem all my broken and rejected pieces-proving to me, and the world, once and for all, that I was in fact, loved.
But no one could give me what I was looking for. Perhaps because they were never intended to. Had they not failed me, I wouldn't have begun to look inward, and stop expecting others to provide me with a sense of self-worth or identity. I discovered that love had always been mine. This is how I began to ask a different question: Do I see you?
Miraculously, once this shift occurred in me, my marriage began to heal, and I reconnected with my dad-once again. But this time, it wasn't about being seen. It was about knowing him in whatever time we had left.
*This book covers a wide range of topics including domestic abuse, abandonment, mental illness, addiction, recovery, codependency, suicide, forgiveness, grace, hope, and healing.
Endorsements:
Thank You for Failing Me is a raw and unflinching exploration of the damage that can be done to the human heart through disappointment and betrayal, as well as the courage and honesty it takes to move beyond the hurt into growth and healing. Stephanie's story is unique to her, of course, but universal in its application. She is a wise guide for those who want to squarely face their pain and grow through it.
-Mike Erre. Teaching Pastor, Journey Church
Stephanie’s story is one full of courage and hope. She fearlessly invites us into her journey of longing and searching for self worth as she navigates the many disappointments that follow. Ultimately and beautifully, she leads us to a place where we can each find our true identity.
-TobyMac. Recording Artist
Stephanie's story is one we can all find ourselves in. Even if our experiences are not the same, her experiences and how she has lived through them resonate with most of us. The way she invites readers into the most sacred spaces of her life will make you feel like you are sitting on the floor of a room with her, listening to the depths of her heart. By the end, you will feel like you've made a great new friend and know you are not alone in this world.
-Suzie Lind. Spiritual Formation & Teaching Pastor, Journey Church
Thank You for Failing Me is a surprising page turner that humbly tracks a journey through loss, love and the vulnerability of redemption. The author's unique viewpoint explores spiritual territory rarely revealed from any perspective."
