Fear Not, Angels Are Summoned: How One Woman Overcame Unimaginable Suffering to Live a Life of Joy

Peacock Proud Press, 2023

Facing life or death, Kim summoned her angels. They saved her life. After a nomadic childhood as the daughter of a military veteran who treats his undiagnosed PTSD with alcohol, Kim survives the trauma of sexual assault, spousal abuse, addiction, and co-dependency to become a nurse and a runner. After re-marrying, she and her husband live happily with their three kids until an elderly driver mistakes the gas for the brake and slams Kim through the wall of an outdoor café where she's waiting for her order. In horror, Kim's fifteen-year-old son and twelve-year-old daughter witness the crash that changes their lives forever. With shattered legs, Kim believes she is dying in the ambulance. Just then, a heavenly Angel appears and whispers unintelligible words over her body, dissolving all the pain and fear. Over many years, Kim endures dozens of painful surgeries. When she thinks her ordeal might be over, she is diagnosed with breast cancer and must undergo dozens more. Despite her physical and psychological scars, Kim maintains her faith and strength with the support and compassion of earthly angels--her husband, children, mother, friends, and extended family. With their help and that of the Lord, she learns to heal, builds a successful business, and lives in joy with faith, forgiveness, fun, and lots of therapy. Kim's remarkable story will inspire trauma and cancer survivors, as well as anyone seeking to face seemingly impossible challenges with grace and humor. Editorial Reviews: "Providing hope for others, Fear Not, Angels Are Summed tackles an incredibly traumatic, life-altering accident with gripping details that make the book hard to put down. A story of resilience and recovery and a must-read for anyone in the midst of or recovering from trauma." --Heidi Ramsbottom Ph.D. , Clinical Psychologist, Center for Psychological Health & Wellness "Kim's normal suburban life with her husband and three kids was turned upside down by a freak accident that could happen to any of us. Her trials and tribulations tested her tenacity, like God tested Job. Surviving the accident, 50 orthopedic surgeries, cancer, loss of job, moving and more were not enough to make her, or her family, give up. This personal story will inspire you to use your own will power, supported by those who care for you, to turn such negatives into a positive--to never lose hope and to turn it all around." --Dror Paley, MD, FRCSC, Orthopedic Surgeon, Director, Paley Orthopedic and Spine Institute, West Palm Beach, Florida "Fear Not, Angels Are Summoned is written through an act of love and witness to 'the Gospel.' In it one will find some of the unexpected ways God intervenes in the chaotic and most tragic moments of our lives. Kim Shipe's memoir articulates how the love of Christ surrounds us and brings us to healing and wholeness." --Rev. Nanette Christofferson, MDIV Fuller Theological Seminary, ELCA Pastor
