Inspiring Personal Story of Strength and Courage

This is a raw authentic honest story of one women's journey through immense betrayal and hardship. The power of transformation and transcendence is seen throughout the story with the culmination being a life of freedom. The heroine finds God and shows the reader the lasting impact that discovery made on her and and reminds us that living in faith is available to all of us. Thank for being so strong and courageous.
