Thanks to Litfuse Publicity Group for providing this book in exchange for my review. I was not required to write a positive review.
This was such an inspiring book! I could completely relate to how hard she had to work to stay in school and survive. The part that was completely alien to me is not having the supportive family to lean on through it all. It is just amazing to me all that she did, lived through and how she came through it all. It is a beautiful, moving story. The book is short and simply written. It is quite an easy read but worth it. There is just something so special about sharing another person's story, literally being able to walk a mile in their shoes. I highly recommend this book.
About Safe From the Past:
A kidnapping, the divorce of her parents, the loss of her father, temporary abandonment and extreme poverty are just some of the issues the author dealt with as a young child.
Her mother finally tells her she must go to college so she can break out of this cycle of poverty and hopelessness. But how can she when she has no money and absolutely no confidence or self esteem?
Read this true story to discover what hope, faith and determination can do to change a life.
A truly inspiring, deeply personal tale of perseverance in the face of unimaginable hardships, Safe from the Past makes clear the restorative power of an education.
Told in an open, honest voice with the deepest sincerity, the author's life story serves as a rousing inspiration to those with the desire to create a better life than the one they are currently living.
No matter how helpless you feel, everyone has the power to shape their own life.
