About the author
Acknowledgments I want to Thank God first and for most, if you Pray and keep Faith, he will show you anything and all things are possible. I want to thank my wonderful 2 boy's (my pride and joy) they truly do keep me going, God only knows where I would be if it was not for them. This book is to show those who feel they lost it all to keep going and to never lose sight of the bigger picture. I came across a lot of fakes and snakes and I thank God ever day being he still allowed me to tell my store. I Love who love me.
