Through These Doors

Dr. Theresa A. Harris-Tigg grew up in a two-parent-family, loving home with four siblings. From childhood through her teenage years, she lived in two remarkable homes, one an apartment over a printing store and the other the family's first and only single-family residence. At eighteen, she was kicked out of the family home because she was pregnant. In Through These Doors, she offers a first-hand account of her trajectory as a teenage mom and child bride to earning the highest education degree offered. Narrating with kindness and honesty, she provides a vibrant, behind-the-scenes chronological account of her life and how it is interwoven with God s grace and mercy. This memoir chronicles one woman s lived experiences, resilience, and belief as she navigated through racism, teen pregnancy, paternity, friendships, Black-girl s-rock success, trust, and what she uncovered about life. Through her story, Harris-Tigg helps others grasp life s spiritual characteristics, recognize God s power, and acknowledge God s handiwork in our lives.
