Book Cover & Preview Text
What people think about you, do and say to you can affect your everyday life, but I am persuaded to cope and move on, concentrating my time and talent to freeing my mind. I am therefore endeavored to instill hope and courage in everyone’s mind. Many persons have been in my situation, and their thoughts and feelings coincide with my own. I choose to write my own life, in my own style and according to the best of my ability rather than to ask some else.
God who is righteous, who is ever on my side and the side of the oppressed and whose arm is not shortened that it cannot save, must have been with me throughout my entire journey. So in writing this book, I am confident that events are depicted truthfully, and that nothing is written with the intention of being malicious, nothing is exaggerated and nothing is drawn from my imagination.
This was written to help anyone in a similar situation…
