Everyone's life is different, and although life can deal a deck of cards, full of jokers, she was able to overcome, surviving two domestic violence relationships (one of which almost ended her life), being raped at 12 and not revealing it until she was in her 40's, and many thoughts of depression and suicide. Therefore, she writes, turning her test into Testimonies, to assist in educating our youth. "Reading Reality Is Essential", assisting our children through today, for a better tomorrow.
