Recent Release, "Finding Joy," from Covenant Books Author Sharon Sponheim, Explores a Young Woman's Courageous Journey Confronting Family Secrets and Reclaiming Identity

Casar, NC, September 22, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Sharon Sponheim has completed a new book, "Finding Joy: Book Two; The Fruit of the Spirit Series” which continues the intimate story of Joy as she reaches a pivotal moment in her healing process. Set against the backdrop of her Michigan hometown, the narrative follows Joy's determination to break free from the silence that has bound her family for years. As she wrestles with her father's resistance and her own need for liberation, Joy must decide whether to finally reveal the trauma that has shaped her life, even when the timing seems impossible.

The author draws from her deep roots in Oscoda, Michigan, a place that has profoundly influenced her storytelling and understanding of small-town family dynamics. Sponheim's background informs every page of her work, lending authenticity and emotional depth to Joy's struggle. Living now with her husband Eric in the foothills of western North Carolina, Sponheim brings years of reflection and lived experience to this candid exploration of trauma, resilience, and redemption.

"Finding Joy: Book Two" presents readers with a raw examination of how silence perpetuates shame and how truth becomes the catalyst for genuine healing. The stakes are intensely personal as Joy confronts not only her family but also her own internalized guilt and self-doubt. Through her breakthrough moment, readers will discover the transformative power of speaking one's truth, the strength required to challenge family systems, and the liberation that comes when we refuse to carry burdens that were never meant to be ours.

From the author, "Joy's journey reflects what so many survivors experience: the push and pull between protecting family and protecting oneself. This book is for anyone who has ever felt trapped by secrets and dared to believe that freedom was possible."
Published by Covenant Books, Sharon Sponheim's stirring work offers readers a window into the invisible wounds carried by trauma survivors and the extraordinary courage required to heal. This narrative will resonate deeply with anyone who has struggled to find their voice.

Readers who wish to experience this illuminating work can purchase "Finding Joy" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
