@bethanyhaleywilliams: SUPER excited about my sister, @ItsBrittNicole, singing at the book launch party on March 29th! Britt worked beside of us as we provided counseling to rescued child soldiers in Uganda soon after @exileintl was founded. She was a beautiful caregiver as they cried redemptive tears after telling their stories of surviving captivity. So honored for her to be a part of this beautiful night of celebrating hope and freedom! You'll be able to see the children's drawings of heartache and hope, and I'll also be signing some books :) @WellCoffeeHouse . Brentwood . 6-8 NEXT Sunday! See you then!
 
"The Color Of Grace" by Bethany Haley Williams:
 
A middle-class woman in rural America and war-affected children in Africa find common ground in their journeys from brokenness to redemption.
Author and psychologist Bethany Haley shares how her own emotional healing led her into treacherous war zones, where she provides care to former child soldiers and how young girls used as sex slaves.
Faced with her own battle with shame and a rocky journey toward healing, Bethany founded Exile International, a non-profit that implements art/expressive therapy and long-term, rehabilitative care to restore and empower war-affected children—including children rescued from Joseph Kony’s LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army).
One of those rescued young men, Solomon, was abducted at the age of ten after being forced to watch LRA soldiers maim and murder his father and grandfather. His younger siblings were left behind, and his mother was instructed to “raise them well…for one day we’ll return to take them too.” Solomon is one of hundreds of thousands of boys and girls who have had their innocence stolen and are forced to do the unthinkable on a daily basis. But their horrific experiences are just the beginning. The real story is what happens after.
Once these children learn to face their pasts, they are given hope for a future and a vision for changing the fabric of their countries by becoming leaders for peace and advocates of the power of forgiveness.
