New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – February 2, 2022) – Author Rolanda Macharia recently released her heart-wrenching memoir of finding God in the midst of addiction, He Heard My Cry: When a Broken Heart Cries out, a story of Rescue, Redemption and Revelation. Inspired by God’s intervention as she penned a poem for her suicide note, this mother of five shares her anguish in an empowering story of strength and resilience.
Book cover of He Heard My Cry
He Heard My Cry chronicles the life of Roe, a young girl, with an 8th grade education, an angelic voice and a life that too often revolved around the world of crack, marijuana and alcohol. Roe grows into womanhood set against a backdrop of addiction, physical, verbal and emotional abuse. She soon becomes a mother, at 16 years old, and finds herself embattled in a marriage of infidelity and abuse. With more children on the way and no education, she emerges into extreme poverty. Buckling beneath the weight of it all, she plans to end her life, but in the midst of her last moments, she cries out to the God she’d only heard about and his answer was powerful and transformational!
He Heard My Cry is not only for the Christian or religious reader. Even those who don’t believe in God will be able to connect with Roe’s fortitude in the face of adversity. Roe’s journey shows that someone can change their life even in the darkness of what could be their final hour, a message that can resonate with people from all walks of life.
Reviewers describe He Heard My Cry as “touching” and praises the author for helping them see through a new lens, through her transparency and willingness to share intimate traumatic events, they are enlightened to the grace needed for others. Rolanda hopes that sharing her experiences will uplift others in similar circumstances. She takes heart in the words of Jana Stanfield: “I cannot do all the good that the world needs. But the world needs all the good that I can do.”
He Heard My Cry: When a Broken Heart Cries out, a story of Rescue, Redemption and Revelation is available for purchase on Amazon.com or wherever books are sold. Rolanda will be holding her book signing this summer and is excited about interacting with her readers! Follow her journey at RolandaShouldersMacharia.com.

I need to to thank you for this very good read!! I definitely enjoyed every little bit of it. I have you saved as a favorite to look at new stuff you postÖ
Thanks.
Hi! Just wondering- what template did you use for your website? I want to use it on my blog at https://similar.my.id
Aw, this was an extremely good post. Finding the time and actual effort to make a
good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and
never manage to get anything done.
Thanks for your blog, nice to read. Do not stop.
I took this book in all at once. Not because of the brevity of pages, but because of the content placed on these pages. The book may have been only 55 pages, but the words, testament, passion, conviction, emotional ups and downs, would rival that of a Dickens novel; but it all stems from truth, and not fantasy. “He Heard My Cry,” is the reflection of millions who suffer. While reading this book, I saw snippets of myself in the pain, and the frustrations that Evangelist Rolanda endured. I could identify with so much of what she was saying to the point that there were parts that I could have just as easily inserted myself in her place. Other times, I could only resonate with the pain. Very powerful book, and well written. I am not one to give away any secrets, only to say one thing. Buy it, read it, feel it, appreciate it.
