RESCUED

The feelings of abandonment and rejection from a man began early in her life. First with her birth father’s disappearance from her life and then through relationships that showered her with abuse more than love.


Fortunately, as author Freida Balzan-Rains expresses in her autobiography, Rescued, love that is unconditional doesn’t come from an earthly man, but a supernatural one.


Freida begins her tale of struggling against low self-esteem and loneliness at a young age, following her parents’ bitter divorce. 


Her mother tried to fill the vacant role of father for Freida and her sisters with a man who almost immediately created an unsettled and sometimes hostile environment with alcohol and violence.


She married at fourteen to escape her troubled life at home only to find herself in a physically abusive relationship with an unloving husband.


Fast-forward to her early twenties: Freida had become the mother of two boys, unfortunately with one father who was emotionally abusive and one who was both verbally and physically abusive. In addition to these scars, the men left Freida with deeper feelings of abandonment and the belief that she couldn’t be loved by a man. 


Freida’s story is not intended to invoke feelings of sadness and hopelessness, but rather enlighten readers to one truth: the love they seek, one that will never leave them nor forsake them, comes from only one source, the heavenly Father. 


Freida was Rescued from the depths of rejection and loneliness, and brought to the heights of acceptance and wholeness in Him.
