They say, "You can't judge a book by its cover," and the same is true for entrepreneur and business mogul Teresa Caldwell, Manager and mother to successful rap/movie entertainer Shad Moss, better known as Bow Wow. This beautiful, well-put together woman has had her share of tears and mountains to climb. In fact, this book is a raw look into the dark side of Teresa's life, before the fame and fortune, and tells the story of rejection, abandonment, and physical abuse. In her debut book I Once Was Her , Teresa offers the gift of sharing her experiences (the good, bad, and the ugly) to help readers realize that no matter how grim a situation seems; a way out exists, and a door will open if you allow yourself to consistently evolve past the pain and struggles. Be impacted by her testimony. Find hope through her journey of emotional and physical abuse. Learn to walk into your true identity, like a BOSS!
