Shirley L. Porter is a retired Peace Officer- Counselor and a native Tennessean. Apart from having a huge heart for young people, she is blessed to be able to give the gift of her time helping older people with multiple resources. She volunteered as a coach for the girl's basketball, baseball, and volleyball teams at Redeemer Lutheran private school. She also mentored young boys in San Francisco's Juvenile Hall. She served as a junior church mother for young teenagers at the Victory Temple-COGIC. This became the healing of her life. She reaches out to many hurting and confused young people to get them on the right track to success.

Shirley lost her son in a drive-by shooting and later her daughter to cancer. She started raising her grandson who was four years old at the time. It didn't stop with him, several years later, her husband's brother passed away leaving a daughter. The two children she lost remain dear to her and her husband. God was gracious to Shirley and her husband, Bernett. He gave them two children that were not their own to love and raise. They are both in college now. There's more inside this sequel, volume two.

Thank you.
