Beyond Recognition: A Story of Triumph Against All Odds - Part One is Lawson's first book and the beginning of an intended series. Through detailed vignettes, this true story documents her testimony and journey to freedom from her sociopathic mother while exposing the perils of bullying, racism, nepotism, and school politics.
Using her personal experiences in breaking free from various narcissists and the detrimental effects of gaslighting, Lawson desires to help others shatter the spiritual and psychological chains that often accompany those who suffered from extended, repetitive childhood trauma. Through her story, Lawson hopes to inspire others to pursue healing and deliverance, and end the cycle of abuse with help from the greatest Counselor of all, Jesus the Messiah.
