If your own father broke your heart, who could save a lost daughter? How do you heal from the one who was supposed to keep you safe? It is so heartbreaking when you see your dad as an enemy, when you used to see him as your hero. In that moment you lose your innocence and your perfect world. Will your heart be found again? "Jesus was in the doorway. He was always knocking at the door of my heart. He was those fragments of joy I held onto. He was the one who sent Cait and Carrie, my treasures. He was the Father I yearned for, the one I wanted to dance with. He found my lost heart. I fell to my knees in repentance, crying out, 'Jesus I'm so sorry...'

About the Book
One of the greatest life lessons Brielle learned from her father while growing up was to say, “See you later,” instead of goodbye. But little did she know that this lesson would one day become her reality. Sadly, Brielle’s sweet sixteen was her last perfect memory of being a daddy’s girl—of being his Cinderella.
In a love letter dedicated to anyone who has been lost, heartbroken, discarded, abused, and never experienced a father’s unconditional love, Brielle shares insight into her personal journey and emotions after she realized her parents’ marriage was irretrievably broken and was ultimately abandoned by her father, left alone to battle life’s storms, a broken heart, and shattered hopes. As she reveals how she attempted to seek love in all the wrong places and longed to trust men, Brielle relays the inspiring details of how she was eventually led into the arms of a loving and kind Father who changed her heart and made her whole again.
Once Lost, Now Found is the true story of a young woman’s experiences after she was abandoned by her father and embarked on a journey to become a cherished daughter of a faithful God.
