When faced with overwhelming hardship, what we believe makes all the difference. At age twenty-six, Anne Reeder Heck was attacked by a stranger and brutally raped. Years later, still seeking to heal the remnants of this trauma, Anne stands alone in her living room one winter day and claims her desired belief aloud: "This is my year of strength." Her clear intention results in a phone call; her rapist has been identified-fourteen years after the crime. Offering all the gripping and uplifting details of a story that sparked national interest-Heck appeared on the front page of The Washington Post and was interviewed by Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America-A Fierce Belief in Miracles lights the way for those seeking to heal from life's traumas by demonstrating the importance of clear intention and trusting inner guidance, and the transformative power of forgiveness.
