Shelly Edwards Jorgensen is the author of a memoir titled "Beautiful Ashes: A True Story of Murder, Betrayal, and One Woman’s Search for Peace.” In the memoir and in our interview, Shelly talks about multiple traumas she experienced growing up, including living with an alcoholic, abusive father both before and after he murdered her mother; testifying against him at his trial; and suffering sexual assault. She also discusses the uplifting power of her faith during the darkest times, her healing journey, and all the ways in which she has ultimately embraced a new mindset on life, faith, and the purpose of suffering.
