Peruse the REVIEWS:
“[Anderson] achieved nothing less than the miraculous alchemy of transmuting the basest of life’s elements into pure, spiritual gold…[A] true hero’s journey from the belly of darkness into the heart of light.” —Author David Zindell
“In clean, evocative and powerfully honest prose, Trial by Fire plunges the reader not only into the depths of Anderson’s horrifying, Kafkaesque ordeal and the mad labyrinth of the modern U.S. justice system, but also on her journey of self-discovery and the evolution of her power…It’s a remarkably balanced blend that will keep readers turning pages late into the night.”—Times-Call
“With all the riveting suspense of a true crime thriller…what sets Anderson’s work apart…is her quest to understand the psychological dimensions of her experience. With the tenacity and strength of a warrior, she delves into her own darkness and emerges with the gift to the world of this memoir.” —Dr. Ruth Meyer
Read the PREFACE:
For nearly thirty years, I was terrorized by a madman and sought justice and peace. I’m hopeful it’s all behind me.
In all this time, the question invariably posed by reporters and advocates, strangers and friends alike is: How did you cope? Of all the questions, this is the one that burns in their eyes, that reaches out from their hearts with a personal need to know; the one that connects us as human beings trying to make sense of our lives and, at times, to simply endure.
My only true answer is that this is not the question. Had I tried merely to cope, I likely would not have survived. I wouldn’t have wanted to.
The question that pulled me inexorably onward in the face of relentless terror, insurmountable obstacles, and unfathomable insanity was: What is the gift in this?
The need to find that answer, that pinpoint of light in the black abyss was my lifeline. Ultimately, it was stronger than fear, anger, or despair. Though perilously fragile at times, my faith that all life experiences are here to teach us, to serve us, kept me going.
From moment to moment, I could not see the path before me. Trapped in a web of violence, ignorance, and cruelty, I could only trust blindly. But with the guidance of my mentor and the burning desire to understand the higher purpose, I worked with my experience and was transformed by it.
This is the story of my journey into the long, dark night and my awakening—a story I offer gladly in the hope that it reaches out to heal hearts and inspire minds.
