Catherine Darnell: Hope’s Tapestry

Catherine Darnell is a powerful advocate for sexual abuse victims. In her early childhood, she experienced the trauma of abuse within a faith community that was supposed to be safe. After decades of living with ambiguity in her life and faith, Catherine sought answers for the meaning of her life. Through renewed faith she discovered the pain of her abuse could bring unexpected purpose to her life.
