~ RUTH GRAHAM , author of In Every Pew Sits A Broken Heart and Fear Not Tomorrow, God Is Already There

Auntie Anne is widely recognized as the successful founder of the worlds largest hand-rolled soft pretzel franchise company. Few would guess that behind her success is heartbreaking pain, loss, and abuse. In The Secret Lies Within , Anne shares her story with vulnerability, leading us from pain to healing and from despair to hope. For anyone who has suffered trauma or felt hopelessness, Annes story reveals a path out of the darkness that offers healing, redemption, and freedom.

~ PETER GREER , president and CEO, HOPE International and coauthor Mission Drift

In finding the courage to tell the story of her long journey to wholeness, Anne Beiler throws a lifeline to others who have been silenced and paralyzed by the shame that follows abuse, especially abuse perpetrated by those who should be the trusted keepers of safe havens. Redemption is not instantaneous, but a process of persistent grasping and holding to the buoy within our reach, the buoy that itself is held by the rope of faith and tied to the strong rock of Gods relentless love for us all. Emily Sutherland writes this story with clarity and deep empathy.
