Book Cover & Preview Text
I have written this book to share with you the reader how it is possible for someone to achieve their goals. I am a girl from the Caribbean Island of Jamaica., Facing hard times I came to America as a young woman without having any clue of what my life would turn out to be. I have seen doors in front of that were securely locked shut by others. Not wanting people to know the truth about what lies behind those doors to be known.
But as a determined Caribbean girl I put my best foot forward. I put my trust in God to pilot my way, as I knew the journey might be long. I tried not to focus on the journey as I kept walking forward and towards my goal. I turned my negative thoughts to positive achievements. I am happy to be the woman I am today. No matter what life threw at me I asked “God” for the courage to overcome the difficult challenges.
