Yesterday's Lunch: Learning to Digest the Past and Develop a Hunger for Tomorrow's Dessert

Kenna grew up in what seemed to be a normal family, but appearances were deceiving. From a young age, she suffered abuse and neglect, and as an adult, she realized that although she had survived so much, she had overcome very little.

In Yesterday's Lunch, Kenna Wren Aila shares her personal story of the abuse she suffered and how it affected her, chronicling her journey of faith and determination as she seeks out a promise made to her by God. She also shares how she learned to process what she went through as a child, and how, as an adult, she learned to rely on her faith to give her strength and to put the past behind her.

With faith, Kenna was able to look to the future for hope. Yesterday's Lunch can also help other victims of abuse and neglect to learn how to process-or digest-what has happened in their lives in order to similarly look forward to what tomorrow holds, without constantly looking back.

Kenna Wren Aila is a survivor of a multitude of abuse and trauma, and she hopes Yesterday's Lunch can help others find the faith and the strength to overcome. By the grace of God, Kenna graduated from community college with her associate's degree in early childhood multicultural education; today she is continuing her education, pursuing a bachelor's degree in early childhood education.
