This Little Light of Mine

This Little Light of Mine is a deeply personal memoir of survival, estrangement, and the quiet, persistent strength it takes to reclaim your life from the shadows of childhood trauma. Tina Marie Anderson's story begins not in a nursery, but on the side of a Florida highway, where she and her toddler brother were found wandering alone-a haunting symbol of what was to come.

Raised in a cycle of instability, control, and silence, Tina navigates a fractured family system marked by abandonment, abuse, and religious pressure. Yet through each chapter, she unearths meaning, sharpens her voice, and discovers that healing doesn't arrive all at once-it reveals itself in small flashes of truth, self-awareness, and reclaimed power.

Told with emotional honesty, grit, and flashes of dry humor, This Little Light of Mine shines a light on the hidden realities of family dysfunction and the lifelong effects of early trauma-while offering a beacon of hope to others still finding their way through the dark.

For readers of Tara Westover, Jennette McCurdy, and Chanel Miller, this memoir is a testament to what can happen when we stop trying to survive for others and start choosing ourselves.
