Below is a excerpt from her Afterword:
God wanted this story written, which is why I had to remember everything. I had to carry the pain, the blessings, and make it visible so that it could be resolved in this way before you. It was in the Divine Plan so that you the reader would know the truth of my journey of Return, to the Joy of Living and God’s Majesty when death was so close.
I was given the opportunity to carry this for so long to then go through my transformation within each word. Not only am I sharing my journey, my quest but also my catharsis. With each memory, I was getting closer to my freedom to be What I was born to Be. I awakened to what had always been my destiny, my soul purpose.
My heart is lighter and I know so much more Joy is waiting for me, for my children and for you.
May Peace Be with YOU,
