Publisher's Synopsis
This is a book for those facing adversity and seeking ways to overcome. It is a personal story about how to bend to life's challenges but not let them overpower you. I was born to an unwed mother in a time when it brought shame to my family. I was rejected by my father until I was ten. I did not let this stop me from setting goals and reaching my dreams. Hopefully my journey will redefine what it means to be bent by the winds of life but not broken. This journey has taken me from being a rejected child to an elected government leader. The reader of this book will learn how to see a crisis as a divine opportunity to grow and come out of the other side more resilient and powerful. You will learn how to increase inner strength and embrace the joy in your life more fully.
