"I have had the honor of knowing the writer of this book my entire life. I have seen how her issues affected her in every aspect of her life. Others thought she was a mean and rude person who didn't care. But, I have seen her silent tears, hurts, and pain that others could not see. I've heard her heart and seen past the exterior walls that others didn't notice. I encourage you to embrace the raw and uncut experiences that Debrea is now sharing with the world. It will truly bless your soul and free your mind and heart from those experiences that have had you bound for years." Yolanda Priddy Min. Debrea Howard's childhood was the epitome of traumatic. Emotional and physical abuse. Parental kidnapping. Adulterous and abusive relationships. Promiscuity and loss of self. Chilling at times; heartbreaking at others; and even enraging. Jackson shares her story with a breath of bravery that each reader will take in with her. Through the power of forgiveness, reconciliation with truth and believing her life held more - she lived to tell the story.
