With You Now

An Invitation to Heal Your Inner Child

By: Kandace Cain Rather

Narrated by: Kandace Cain Rather

In With You Now, Kandace guides us through her stories and into an exploration of healing emotional pain resulting from complex childhood trauma. Our unconscious beliefs as children do not just fade chronologically as we grow older.

At the tender age of six years old, Kandace was named dangerous by an adult in her life. That belief was shattered at fifty years old and in the presence of women who persuaded her that she was not too much and that her "dangerous,” beautiful self was her ability to confront injustice with clarity, compassion, and a call to change.

Kandace concludes her memoir with a pathway on how we heal childhood trauma, along with how we bring repair to struggling relationships with our adult children. Her guidance in these turbulent spaces comes with tender compassion for the ways unhealed past wounds affect our parenting and what we can now do about it.

Critic reviews

“Written with courage almost beyond comprehension.”—Patria Diehl Rector, The Broken & Beautiful

"Kandace invites us into the heartache of her childhood and what is involved in rediscovering wholeness. Her poignant story is a labyrinth that takes us into the valley of death yet offers wisdom and clarity on why we need to remember and address our younger selves. She sets a feast for us and gave me even greater clarity why I need a story coach to aid me in the mystery of making sense of my heartache. If you are open to the One who writes our story and invites us to rewrite it with goodness, then you will relish this stunning book.” — Becky Allender, The Allender Center
