The Storms That Shaped Me

The Storms That Shaped Me is not just a book—it’s a survival story, a testimony, and a mirror for every woman who’s ever whispered, “Lord, why me?”

Dr. Jacquiline Cox, 17x bestselling author and CEO of Listen Linda Publishing, lays her soul bare in this raw, reflective memoir of grief, grit, and grace. From childhood trauma and loss to chronic illness, betrayal, foster care, and the deep valleys of single motherhood, every storm she’s weathered has left a scar—and a scripture.

This book walks you through her darkest days: the loss of her father, grandmothers, best friend, godmother, godson, and cousin—all while trying to be everything her children needed and more. But The Storms That Shaped Me is not a tragedy. It’s a declaration of deliverance.

Inside these pages, you’ll find:

• Real, unfiltered moments that shaped a ministry
• Reflection questions that invite your own healing
• Spiritual insight rooted in scripture and survival
• A woman’s journey from breakdowns to breakthroughs

If you’ve ever questioned your purpose in the midst of pain, this book will remind you that God doesn’t waste a storm. He uses every wave, every wind, and every wound to mold you for His glory.

You don’t come out of storms the same—but if you trust God, you’ll come out stronger.
