Have you ever looked back at the person you were and looked now at the person you are...and felt you don t even know that earlier person anymore? It is my privilege to write a brief review of this story of the author s life. Knowing her since she was 18, I have watched her grow and mature into the exceptional young woman she is today. As the book describes, her life has definitely not been without problems. As a trusting woman, she was taken advantage of by many people. How she dealt with her life issues and became a faithful and functioning, patriotic individual is her story. Her resilience will be an inspiration to others! - Emory W. Pitts, Lt Col, US Army Reserve (Ret)
