We never truly know what someone is facing. That was certainly the truth for Pam Good. On the outside Pam appeared to have it all together, but hidden where no one could see was a fragile heart shaped by wounds no one could imagine.

In her book, He Never Let Go, Pamela Waggoner Good shares her story of being raised by a mother suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, and experiences of rejection, shame, abandonment, and isolation. She also shares how she learns to cope in silence, seeking validation through perfectionism.
Pam faced trials with her mother, step-mom, a shattered marriage, broken relationships, and other struggles all throughout her life. She called out to God one day, yet says, "I only really approached God when I was facing some problem, so I quickly realized I had no idea how to listen for His voice or hear it." So she continued on struggling day after day.
Finally one night in desperation, she called out to God again, this time with full surrender. She says, "There was no dramatic change in my circumstances the following days, nor how I felt about myself, but a seed of hope had taken root in my heart." Even through her surrender, Pam still faced hard situations for years. But through all of it, she could see the love and hand of God. Pam learned to stop surviving and start living.
