Check out a brief excerpt below:

“I’m sure that my dad was simply trying his best to come to terms with the fact that his baby daughter, the one who he had such high hopes for, once a UC Berkeley student with a bright future in medicine…was now a mother of two.”

“…His perpetual look of dismay, like an upside down smile, had a way of lingering … it reverberated throughout the entire household, … I’m sure that with a deeper look into each of our lives, one would find that his words created deep and lasting impressions  which were etched into the depths of our souls not unlike how the crashing of the waves over and over upon the shoreline creates indelible water marks over time…”

My heart’s desire is reach someone who may see themselves in the pages of my life; who may have experienced or who may be experiencing a challenging or traumatic situation.

To the teenager who finds herself pregnant and alone …

To the one who is dealing with addiction …

To the one who is suffering from domestic violence at the hand of the one who says they love you …

this book is for you.

Things may be rough right now, but if you hold on and persevere in your faith, you will surely make it through.

“I have become stronger and wiser through the journey…”
