Up From Suicide: and Other Short Stories, Paperback

Irene Pierce Dunn's life started out in hardship, abandonment and abuse in foster homes. She is the adult child of two alcoholic parents.

The author triumphs over juvenile delinquency, peppered with suicidal tendencies, and suffers through psychosis, only to emerge triumphant because of the Grace of Jesus Christ.

Although her walk with the Lord was arduous and difficult as she dealt with mental health issues and her own reactive rebellion, the stories are meant to bring hope and healing to those with troubles and to share her experience with professionals who help heal others from mental and emotional traumas.

Her stories show the transformation that took place through belief in Jesus Christ, who never abandoned her.
