A lifetime of unexpected challenges reveals how faith, resilience, and compassion gradually shaped an enduring sense of purpose.<\/div>\n

MARIETTA, GA – August 15, 2026 –<\/strong> At five years old, despite recurring health challenges and doubts that she could one day pursue nursing, Sylvia Bryden-Stock<\/strong> had already decided what she wanted to become. In From There to Here: Journey of a Skinned Rabbit: Twists and Turns with a Divine Purpose<\/a>, she reflects on the unexpected turns that carried that childhood dream into a life of service, spiritual searching, and a calling she could never have anticipated.<\/p>\n

Born during the Second World War, Bryden-Stock grew up in postwar Britain determined to become a nurse. That determination carried her into a successful career devoted to caring for others, while family life, professional experiences, and seasons of spiritual questioning gradually reshaped her understanding of faith and purpose. Through each chapter of her life, the path forward rarely unfolded as she expected.<\/p>\n

The memoir follows the defining moments that transformed her outlook, from memorable years in nursing to rediscovering a deeper relationship with God. Another pivotal chapter began when her husband was diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer’s disease. That experience ultimately reshaped her future, leading Bryden-Stock toward a renewed purpose in supporting family caregivers and encouraging others facing similar challenges.<\/p>\n

Written with warmth, humility, and quiet honesty, the book invites readers to reflect on how life’s setbacks can become opportunities for growth. It embraces both hardship and hope, reminding us that purpose often emerges through the very experiences we never would have chosen.<\/p>\n

From There to Here: Journey of a Skinned Rabbit: Twists and Turns with a Divine Purpose<\/em> is now available on Amazon<\/a> for readers drawn to true stories of resilience, faith, and the courage to keep moving forward.<\/p>\n
