In Colonial times, as the Chesapeake Bay and larger rivers became vital shipping channels, the need arose to mark Maryland’s dangerous shoals and waterways. Lighthouses sprang up throughout the 1800s and early 1900s, including wood-framed cottages placed upon screw pile foundations that stood offshore in the unforgiving waters. Most of these unique structures did not survive, lost tragically to ice that also occasionally claimed the lives of the keepers who faithfully tended them and rescued mariners in trouble. With the advent of electricity and GPS, many beacons succumbed to vandalism and neglect, leaving a fraction remaining.

Fertile soil and abundant streams at former Indian cross trails provided ideal farmland around a prominent 18th-century-era church that gave the town of Falls Church its name. The first known home, Big Chimneys, was built around 1699. A mere seven miles from downtown Washington, DC, Falls Church sat close enough to witness the nation's capital burn during the War of 1812. Once the largest farm population center in what was then Fairfax County, Falls Church has slowly evolved over the past three centuries. The town has seen the coming of Revolutionary independence and was transformed by the Civil War. Since 1900, residents have experienced the growth of the post-World War II suburban ideal and felt the impact of the civil rights movement, ultimately developing Falls Church into a unique town with established religious, educational, and civic institutions amidst urban sprawl.

Raised in a home where Christianity was the foundation, Cathy found herself wandering far from her faith into a pattern of alcohol abuse and divorce. As she pursued her own selfish lifestyle her children became victims of neglect and by the time she was ready to turn her life around, one of her daughters was not only addicted to drugs, but she was also spinning out of control in other areas of her life. That was when Cathy began to suffer the pain, anxiety, fear, guilt, and shame of being a hurting mom. Although your story may be different than Cathy’s, there are probably many similarities. Maybe your child has overdosed repeatedly on drugs, is estranged from your family, engages in self-harm, has an eating disorder, has pursued an alternative lifestyle, or has even tried to commit suicide. Perhaps you are a Hurting Grandma raising your grandkids because of the dysfunction of your child, or your child is keeping your grandkids away from you. You wrestle with how this has happened in your family and you feel as though it is your fault. No matter what the issue or addiction, you love your child and desire the best for them. But how do you cope with your own heartache? How do you move beyond the daily discouragement that you experience as a hurting mom? Cathy Taylor knows how you feel. As a Celebrate Recovery Ministry Leader and State Representative she has seen the brokenness of those who enable others and struggle with codependency. She knows the importance, and has found freedom in her own recovery, by working through the 12- steps herself. In fact, she is a firm believer in the recovery process, whether it is through Ala-non, Nar-anon, Alcoholics Anonymous, or Celebrate Recovery. Cathy honestly and transparently details her journey in this moving biography as the talks about her battle with hopelessness and depression and then overcoming it all through Jesus Christ. She knew she couldn’t carry the burden alone and she began to seek out other women who were hurting over their children to find support and connection. The hope she found gave her the desire to help other hurting moms. She wrote a curriculum, which has drawn many moms to join her community of support. There are other support groups and ministries that provide recovery and sober living houses, but who helps the moms of children that are addicted or making other poor choices that are destructive and hurtful to themselves and their families? Here, women have found a new way to deal with their broken hearts, as they find freedom from their codependent behavior, the fear of being alone, and the guilt and shame that have kept them isolated. From Broken to Mended is a journey of hope and healing. Join the family and find their warm embrace! A must read!
