Terri-Parnell Desilva is a woman whose strength was born from struggle and whose faith was forged through fire. For years, she lived in the shadow of addiction, believing she was too broken ever to find her way back. But through courage, surrender, and a deep belief in God’s grace, she rebuilt her life, piece by piece, prayer by prayer.
Born and raised in Easton, Pennsylvania, Terri grew up in a loud, boisterous home with four older siblings where love was shown in action, rarely in words. Life was simple, yet somewhere along the way, she lost herself to pain she didn’t know how to name. What began as a search for comfort turned into years of addiction that nearly consumed everything she loved.
“Trapped in My Own Mind” is the true story of a woman who navigated darkness and found her way back to the light. In this honest and heartfelt memoir, Terri-Parnell Desilva opens the door to her past and shares what it really means to fight addiction, face yourself, and rebuild your life one small step at a time.
