This book is non-fiction and a short synopsis of my life. The focus is on where you are today is not your last fight, battle, season or final destiny. In life, we will have trials and tribulations, as each day has its own troubles. When you try to do good, trials and people will test you. There is hope in persevering, as life is full of surprises and a bright future. Resilient people of great faith and committed perseverance will rise above their trials, despairs, battles, challenges and fears! The early years of my life were challenged by darkness - loss, sickness, death and a deep violation of my innocence. These years were so painful and the pressures could have crushed my spirit, pierced my soul, and the weight on my heart quenched all hope. But as my story unfolds, it becomes clear that darkness would not have the final word, and the light of Jesus Christ would shine through in my life. I would rise up, not by my own will, but through an unconditional love - the grace of Jesus Christ. There is no doubt in my mind, if He did it for me, He can do it for you!
