New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 2, 2022) - Author Rolanda Macharia recently released her heart-wrenching memoir of finding God in the midst of addiction, He Heard My Cry: When a Broken Heart Cries out, a story of Rescue, Redemption and Revelation. Inspired by God's intervention as she penned a poem for her suicide note, this mother of five shares her anguish in an empowering story of strength and resilience.

He Heard My Cry chronicles the life of Roe, a young girl, with an 8th-grade education, an angelic voice, and a life that too often revolved around the world of crack, marijuana, and alcohol. Roe grows into womanhood set against a backdrop of addiction, physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. She soon becomes a mother, at 16 years old, and finds herself embattled in a marriage of infidelity and abuse. With more children on the way and no education, she emerges into extreme poverty. Buckling beneath the weight of it all, she plans to end her life, but in the midst of her last moments, she cries out to the God she'd only heard about and his answer is powerful and transformational!

He Heard My Cry is not only for the Christian or religious reader. Even those who don't believe in God will be able to connect with Roe's fortitude in the face of adversity. Roe's journey shows that someone can change their life even in the darkness of what could be their final hour, a message that can resonate with people from all walks of life.

Reviewers describe He Heard My Cry as "touching" and praises the author for helping them see through a new lens, through her transparency and willingness to share intimate traumatic events, they are enlightened to the grace needed for others. Rolanda hopes that sharing her experiences will uplift others in similar circumstances. She takes heart in the words of Jana Stanfield: "I cannot do all the good that the world needs. but the world needs all the good that I can do."
