Through her optimistic perspective, she has gained insight into the life lessons that have shaped her into the fine, thoughtful young lady she is today.
This book is written to inspire teens to recognize their true value and to understand that their parents choices do not need to define their present and future happiness.

Counselors and teachers will find this book beneficial in opening the lines of communication with younger children to determine how best to provide them much-needed support.
This book is also written to inspire addicts to move into permanent recovery, encouraging them to break their destructive cycle and rebuild healthy relationships.

Devastating realities of how abuse and neglect can alter a childs life are simply stated in this true story of one girls journey. Not just another story, but a heart-felt truth of abuse and neglect told through the eyes of a child.
As a psychotherapist for over 25 years, I have seen how the trauma of abuse and neglect forever changes how one sees the world. Having at least one strong, positive support person in an abused persons life can provide the needed hope for a positively changed future.
Lilis journey is far from over but her hope for being a world changer and helping others understand the effects of abuse and neglect will continue to empower her and readers of her story.

My heart is bleeding. All I can say is that this is one of the best books I have ever read. This story will stay with me my entire life. How Lili and Deb managed to face all their terrible situations with such confidence and joy is hard tovisualize! The way the author has written this story brings it straight to your heart and you will feel it deeply.

This book is filled with tremendous changes, emotions, motivation, inspiration, and most importantly, love. I highlyrecommend you read this book no matter what your age is or what is going on in your life. I can promise that if you read at least the first two short chapters, you will be drawn to read the rest of it for sure. Enjoy the read!

Lilis story displays courage, resilience and bravery. She used the disruptions and confusion in her life to propel her forward even if she was weeping. This compelling book will remind you that you dont have to live with a victim mindset but a victorious mindset. Gods love kept Lili safe through every interruption in her life.
