More than a memoir—this book is a promise of hope for anyone who was abandoned as a child, to anyone who woke up hungry and went to bed hungrier every day, for every wife who has loved a husband who left bruises on her heart and on her body. Somewhere between stealing cold cuts from stray cats and watching a stranger leave her mother’s bed after breaking in through their bedroom window, Mary figured out that her family was dirt poor. Worse than her empty stomach, she was hungry for acceptance and love. She thought she found it when her baby sister was born and she became her “mommy”, taking care of her needs as best she could at the age of seven. Then she had to say goodbye over a small white casket. Mary’s grandparents, first generation immigrants from Puerto Rico, took her in and gave her a glimpse of faith and stability. For a brief, shining spell, she had a real home—until they decided that Mama needed her. They may have been right, but Mama needed more than a little girl could give and Mary lost her way again. Just out of Juvy Hall, Mary found a knight in shining armor to take her away. She became a teenage bride to a man twice her age—a man as deeply enslaved to booze as every “step-dad” she’d had as a child. She loved him anyway, even wearing the bruises he gave her, even when she tried to leave him to give their children a better life. Despite her fear and loneliness, she never imagined it would take a gunshot in the middle of the night to teach her courage. She was even more surprised when rediscovered faith paved the path to forgiveness after so many years of pain. Running in Heels is a memoir of the grit and grace that carried a young girl through the shadows of her mother’s choices and on through an abusive marriage. Mary A. Pérez narrates an incredible story of survival in the face of hopelessness, and learning to forgive against all odds. A story of coming of age, and coming into grace.

Journey to the Center of the Heart is the story of a journey from hell to paradise–and an example of how God is in the business of giving people second chances. From the Tomb of the Sleeper through Daring Dive Rock and finally to Keeping Heart Cove, you’ll find encouragement and hope as you travel with John. The road to this island paradise was far from smooth. After a childhood involving domestic abuse and alcoholism, John quickly broke both of his early vows: never drink alcohol and never get divorced. Two DUIs and two divorces later, he allowed God to change his life’s course and begin his journey to find the center of his heart. Now John shares not only his heartbreakingly honest personal journey, but also gives readers a field guide to discovering the God-given desires of their heart. “John Miller captures the imagination of people with broken lives and hearts. The wounded, addicted, and defeated are given a glimmer of hope and a path to a new beginning.” Rev. Dave Ralph Colorado District Superintendent Church of the Nazarene
