A powerful, modern-day story of Job! The most profound story of dejection, tragedy, and an unwavering desire to survive. Rasheena Perry takes you through the journey of her life, which often seems like scenes from a Lifetime movie, revealing decades of family secrets that almost led to her demise. In all of my readings, I have never run across a book that made me re-evaluate my own beliefs about why God allows suffering. Through her story, I developed a deeper, clearer perception of how God works ALL things together for good.

Dedication
Zay, my firstborn, my heartbeat, the one who saw me at my worst before I became Gods best! We had it hard (a child raising a child). Nevertheless, you stuck it out with me, and you loved me in spite of me. To this day, you are still my baby and will always be. We have been on this ride a long time, and no matter how many obstacles we encounter, we never leave each other hanging. Without you, there is no me. I know that sounds backwards, but in my world, it makes complete sense. Before you, I was living to die, but you came. I didnt understand it then, but God sent you to give me a reason to live again. I love you to life, which is why I speak it over you every day. Your heart is one that pumps love and pours out gold to anyone around you. You have an unstoppable determination that pushes you beyond the challenges life has brought your way.
Momma, my babygirl, my mini-me, my motivator, my intercessor. You wont settle for my less, and you push me to give my all. When I cant, you can! When I dont, you do! God knew I would only need one of you because I could not imagine more than two of me! Watching you be a mother brings tears of joy to my eyes. Im in awe of the young woman you have become and Im proud that you are mine. I love you to the moon, mall (on the clearance rack), the restaurant, the bed, and back!
Pooda, my miracle, my hope, and my strength, you are the most God-fearing child I have ever seen. You lead and provoke me to worship and unintentionally make me feel ashamed when I dont! Youve been raised knowing your own story. Each day that I watch you evolve on your journey, you become stronger and braver, and you make me proud to be your mom. I love you to Jesus and all His disciples come back!
Mar Mar, grandmas baby! Oh how I love you. You are my joy, my peace, my world. I cannot imagine my life without you. You love me to the moon and back and youre not ashamed to show it! My heart lights up every time I think of you. My big boy, myokay, I wont call you that because youre going to be grown somedaybut you know who you are. Grandma loves you with all the love in the whole wide world!
This isnt about you; its for you; for us!

Foreword
Dr. Marvin Smith
From the echoes of time, women have hidden dark secrets and buried their pain in places so deep that no humans fingers can touch. Mere smiles cant ease the pain, nor does time seem to heal it. Abuse of a child, in any form, is senseless, evil, and deemed unacceptable by most of mankind. Yet, there are those who hide behind the shadows of their titles, power, and prestige, and silently prey on children who have no voice of their own or one who cares enough to protect and keep them safe. For some, the abuse is short lived, suppressed, and maybe hidden so the deep that the memories have faded away. Then there are those who are consumed by their childhood trauma. Eventually, they grow into adults, but the residue of their dark past still haunts and disables them from having a brighter future. Subconsciously, they forfeit their God-given purpose and become stuck in the world with no hope to fulfill their destiny. The road to healing is difficult and strenuous when longing to be loved and understood. The good news is, even now its possible. Yes, even now you can heal, live, and thrive. But before you do, you must embrace your process.
This book tells the story of a winner! Rasheena Perry is one who is passionate and determined to teach others why they must overcome their past so that they can possess their future. I have witnessed her transparency and relentless perseverance transform the lives of others, right before my eyes. Rasheena embodies success and leadership as she leads the way for others to truly face their past, embrace their now, and go after their future. Often, Rasheena reminds others that what happened to them didnt break themit made themand that whatever theyve done cannot stop nor block them. One of her greatest attributes is her ability to be transparent in how she lives and walks out her purpose in front of people. She is a living epistle being read by many; she uses her life, her story, and her testimony of trials and diverse tribulations to demonstrate and educate women about the power of overcoming what theyve gone through and embracing the strength to love who they truly are.
