This book is a personal testimony of the many challenges I have faced in my life. For years, I have allowed past hurts, failures, poor decision-making, and low self-esteem to hold me in bondage, depriving me of enjoying the full benefits of a life with Jesus Christ. I forced portions of my past to the back of my mind and vowed that I would never discuss those things. Several of the experiences tormented me causing me to act out in ways that are unseemly for a "lady." However, I dealt with them the best way I knew how. Fortunately, through God's guidance, I realized it was time to face up to and expose those things that have held me in bondage and stagnated my growth so that I can walk freely into my destiny and live the abundant life He has reserved for me.
