Why This Book?

Why am I writing this book?  Why am I writing this book now?  This book has been on my mind for years now, in fact, this book has been on my heart since before I even experienced the things that you're going to read about.  When I was a sophomore at Florida State University, I wanted to write about something and I even told some friends, but I didn't think that I had anything worth writing about at that time.  So time has passed and life has happened to me, and now I feel like I have something to share with young women, especially those of us who have looked to our male counterparts to find our peace.  You'll never find peace that way.  It's going to take you looking within yourself to find that peace.  You're going to have to pray, read, pray, cry, pray, yell.............it's going to take all of that to find that peace - well at least that works for me.  Everyone is different, but we can all find our peace.  It took me a long time to realize that and some days I STILL have my moments!  Ask my husband! LOL, he knows better than anybody.

I wish a book like mine was readily available, easily accessible when I was going thru.  I spoke with a therapist, I spoke with sorority sisters, I spoke with family, I prayed (but I didn't fully believe at that time), I thought I was doing at least one thing right, but nope, I put all my trust and love into this one being and I was let down - I was beat down, literally.  You're going to get your copy of this book and your jaws are going to drop to the ground.  Some of you are even going to give me the side eye, but most importantly there will be some who will cry and who will be thankful for my story.  There are going to be some who will be able to avoid unhealthy relationships based on my experiences.  My memoir is going to prove that you should never judge a book by it's cover.
