Restored
About this audiobook
Our past may shape us, but it doesn’t have to define us.
This is the ultimate takeaway author Randy Pitkin discovered in his own journey from a dysfunctional household to the life he rebuilt for himself. His experience taught him the hard truth of what childhood trauma is, how abuse affects us during and in the aftermath, and how we learn to move on from the pain.
A childhood of abandonment and mistreatment led Randy into an adulthood of distrust, anger, and substance abuse as he struggled to deal with what happened—as he ignored what happened. But ignoring it didn’t heal the scars, until he had no choice but to acknowledge they were still there.
Restored tells the true, heartbreaking, and hopeful tale of a man who proved that you can always change your path. No matter what you’ve been through or how many years pass in between, it’s never too late to face the past and turn it into the foundation for something good.
Let Randy’s story inspire you to work toward something good for yourself. Because when you do what you need to do to be better, you can find peace to get through what hurt you, and start heal.
About the author
Randy grew up in New Haven, Connecticut, in a middle-class Jewish family. From all outward appearances, his childhood seemed typical and happy. However, behind closed doors, things were not as they appeared. Deep emotional scars would affect his behavior for decades. His life and story provide a journey of self-discovery, enlightenment, healing, and hope. No matter how far off course you may feel, you can be restored and find the right path again. We are not defined by our worst actions; we are defined by who we choose to be in the present. See if his insights offer comfort and guidance for you.
