Why I Wrote This
This book was written from real experiences and heartbreak. My goal was never just to tell a story, but to encourage readers to keep going even when it seems like they want to throw in the towel. I want to bring the same hope Jesus gave me back in 2023. I want to do that through raw honesty and transparency.
