About the Book
This book contains the survival story of a young
woman who grew up poor, believing that the color of her skin would determine
her destiny. She grew up with a loving mother, and an abusive father. How does
one survive a life involving teenaged pregnancy, and attempted suicide? How
does one live to tell the story of her escape from the man she knew as her
husband, who beat her for his pleasure? Can a woman really be a woman after the
threat of breast cancer, and double breast biopsies? How does a young woman bounce back from a
life of promiscuity, drugs, alcohol, and ultimately, the taking of innocent
life? Who could survive conceiving a child after being raped? Could anyone have
courage enough to walk the path of righteousness after a diagnosis of cancer for
her five year old son? What kind of person could live this life, walk this
road, and testify free of condemnation? I lived it, I walked it, and I breathed
this life everyday. How did I turn from victim to survivor? Nothing but the
blood of Jesus!
About the Author
The author of this book comes
from a poverty stricken family. A family who did not have
such simple luxuries as a car, and at times a telephone. She grew up
being told that being “black” and being female, were
two strikes against her. She turned to a life of drugs and promiscuity,
that ultimately resulted in the taking of innocent life. She abused her
body, and that invited others to abuse her. From an abusive husband, to a
violent rape, she experienced it all. She is no longer a victim, but a
survivor. She tells her life story with the hope of drawing others closer to
Christ. By the grace of God, she is no longer a victim.
