What happens when the life you built collapses-and everything you were taught to believe begins collapsing with it?
I Come to the Garden Alone is Christina Waren's deeply personal memoir of survival, spiritual awakening, and the long journey back to herself.
Raised within fundamentalist religion, Christina learned early that obedience was praised, questions were dangerous, and a woman's worth was often measured by how quietly she endured. For decades, she carried the weight of religious fear, an abusive marriage, financial devastation, family estrangement, grief, and the constant responsibility of caring for a daughter with significant disabilities.
When her twenty-eight-year marriage finally ended, Christina left with little more than what would fit inside her car beside her daughter's wheelchair. What followed was a season of loss few could imagine: the disappearance of financial security, home, belongings, beloved animals, family relationships, and the identity she had spent a lifetime building.
Yet beneath the wreckage, something unexpected began to emerge.
Through honest questioning, historical study, meditation, self-examination, and a growing awareness of the divine within, Christina began separating truth from fear and faith from control. She discovered that awakening was not about finding another institution to obey. It was about learning to trust the voice within herself.
This is not a story of returning to religion. It is a story of moving beyond it.
It is the story of a woman who lost nearly everything and discovered that peace, love, meaning, and spiritual connection were still possible. From heartbreak and homelessness to unexpected love and a new life in the Arizona desert, Christina's journey offers hope to anyone rebuilding after abuse, religious trauma, family rejection, or the collapse of everything once believed to be certain.
I Come to the Garden Alone: A Memoir of Spiritual Awakening is for those who have questioned, endured, awakened, and wondered whether life could still become beautiful after everything falls apart.
It can.
