Peace: a Soulful Guide to Starting Over Without Starting From Scratch

What if peace wasn’t something you found — but something you practiced?In Peace: A Soulful Guide to Starting Over Without Starting from Scratch, author India Trotter invites readers on an intimate, honest, and often humorous journey toward healing, self-awareness, and grounded calm. Written for anyone standing at the crossroads of “what was” and “what’s next,” this book is both a mirror and a manual — a reminder that you don’t have to start over completely to begin again meaningfully.Through four deeply personal parts — The Pause, The Pour, The Pivot, and The Practice — India weaves reflections, gentle truths, and guided prompts that help readers slow down, let go, realign, and live what peace has been trying to teach them all along. Her voice feels like a friend who’s seen some things, prayed through some things, laughed at the mess, and learned that peace isn’t perfection — it’s presence.With sections that explore exhaustion, boundaries, forgiveness, faith, joy, and becoming, this is not a book you rush through — it’s one you return to. Each chapter closes with a “Peace-Full Mirror Moment” and a “Pour It Out” reflection designed to help you move from inspiration to application.And for those who love to write, reflect, and document their growth, the paperback edition includes dedicated journaling pages throughout the book — giving you space to pour your thoughts, capture your breakthroughs, and track your own journey toward peace.Because sometimes healing needs to be handwritten.Whether you’re reading in bed, highlighting on your lunch break, or listening quietly on Audible, Peace meets you exactly where you are — messy, marvelous, and in motion. It’s a soft landing for the anxious heart and a steady companion for the soul ready to try again without throwing everything away.Inside these pages, you’ll discover:How to slow down long enough to hear yourself again.Why stillness doesn’t mean stagnation — it means strength.How to release what you’ve been carrying without losing your softness.The difference between boundaries that isolate and boundaries that protect.Why peace requires both grace and grit — and how to live with both.Beautifully written and spiritually grounded, Peace: A Soulful Guide to Starting Over Without Starting from Scratch is more than a self-help book — it’s a sacred space for reflection, restoration, and renewal.Because peace isn’t what happens when everything’s perfect.It’s what happens when you finally stop trying to be.
