The Way Ahead
Liz Murphy Simmons had a clear vision of her future. She would graduate from college with a career as a concert pianist, meet and marry the man of her dreams and have a family. God had other plans.
He placed her in situations that made her question her own values while observing women being sexually harassed and objectified. Even a Christian college in North Georgia opened her eyes to the ways of the world, which denied some women job security and success.
God’s nudging redirected her to change her degree to business law in order help women who seemed to go through life in a fog of compromise. She spent her whole career looking for opportunities to encourage and empower women.
She married the man of her dreams and had a daughter in the midst of turmoil in her career. When she finally reached a level of responsibility and authority to enable women to effect change, she faced a daily battle with a nemesis who was determined to destroy Liz’s career and life with her husband and daughter. This relationship challenged Liz’s faith and brought her to understand true forgiveness.
Her ultimate challenge came when she was found standing over the body of a co-worker.
Liz’s story is about faith and forgiveness, deceit and trust, and power and submission.
