New Book“Set Free” Chronicles A Journey From Trauma To Triumph Through The Power Of Love

Prentiss, MS - Pastor, Speaker, Author, and Entrepreneur Rachel L. Thompson is set to release her powerful and deeply personal book, * Set Free: From the Grip of Grief, Bitterness, Anger, Hatred, and Unforgiveness by the Power of Love *, on July 13, 2025, via Amazon Kindle. A virtual launch celebration will follow that evening at 5:00 PM CST, and an in-person book launch event will take place on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST at The House of Refuge / Raisola Park in Prentiss, Mississippi.

With a foreword by world-renowned motivational speaker Les Brown, * Set Free * shares Rachel's real-life story of resilience. At just 13 years old, she experienced the unimaginable: the loss of her mother to domestic violence at the hands of her father. Instead of remaining in the shadows of trauma, Rachel chose a path of forgiveness and faith, finding healing through the power of love.

“This is not just a book about trauma. This is a book about triumph,” says Rachel.“I want readers to know that no matter how deep the pain, love has the power to heal, restore, and truly set you free.”

* Set Free * offers hope to those navigating grief, bitterness, and abuse. It's an honest and redemptive journey that reminds us healing is possible-even in the darkest of places.
