Book Synopsis
“Silence shelters harm. Truth restores wholeness.”
But It Does Matter is the luminous testimony of Kristi L. Whitten-Drummond, a trauma-informed and neurodivergent minister whose courage transforms deep pain into sacred witness.
At thirteen, Kristi was exploited by a trusted family friend and later silenced by those meant to protect her. This book ends that silence with tenderness and prophetic clarity—naming what happened and why truth-telling matters.
Blending narrative, neuroscience, and spiritual insight, she reveals how trauma shapes the nervous system—and how healing reawakens it.
This is not a story of brokenness but of resurrection: a minister reclaiming body, faith, and voice.
For survivors, advocates, and faith communities, But It Does Matter offers both a map and a mirror—an invitation to honor truth and remember that healing itself is holy work.
