Meet Brooklyn. She's a single mother of two, and although she's taken hits in her life, she's gotten through them all.
Meet Paige. She's a single mother too, and she's so overwhelmed that she's contemplating ending it all. But in a last-ditch effort to find help, she goes to a support group for single parents. That's where she meets Brooklyn-and through Brooklyn's story, she finds a second chance at life.
From unplanned pregnancies to barely being able to keep the bills paid and the lights on, Paige sees her mirror image in Brooklyn and finally realizes that with perseverance, strength, and God on her side, she can get through her darkest days-just like Brooklyn did. Hope isn't lost.
Like Paige, you will become uplifted by Brooklyn's story. This true-life memoir is about finding the light when you're in a dark place. It's about sticking together and never turning your back on your faith. Because sometimes faith is all you have left.
Additional pages at the back of the book let you add your own thoughts and reflections-allowing the inspiration from If You Would Just See ME! to carry far beyond its final page.
