Author of Punished for Purpose
Punished for Purpose: Lauri’s Story is a gripping and compelling true-life story of inspiration. It combines hardship, survival and success through a tailspin of events almost too riveting to believe. Told from the viewpoint of an abused child who was wrongly committed to a mental institution for the criminally insane, tied to a bed in a straight-jacket and later walked the streets as a prostitute, it is a story that must be told.
Punished for Purpose tells the tale of a child who can only reconcile her existence as punishment for sins committed in a past life. Thirteen people, virtual angels and teachers crossed her path and shared their secrets for success, she is ultimately, empowered with the ability to heal not only her own wounds, but also save the lives of others. In the end, she discovers that her purpose was actually hidden somewhere within the punishment itself.
Upon final analysis, her viewpoint shifts from one of punishment to that of being chosen. Realizing that her childhood was necessary to prepare her, she embraces the punishment as the only path to her ultimate destiny, a life beyond imagination.
Now an executive, an inspirational speaker, a mother to over 40 unwanted children and the founder of a life changing movement for abused children everywhere, I can promise you that once you read Punished for Purpose you will be forever changed.
In the end, the reader will question every “bad” part of their life with a sense of awe and wonder, as they embrace the possibility of a new interpretation for everything. Punished for Purpose will take the lid off of your life that limits your existence. It will expand your viewpoint of success from that of simply investigating your own life to the unmistakable truth that you have the power to change the world.
