Rejected, homeless with no family, I had to find my way in a world from which I had been protected. Struggling to figure out this new way of life brought its challenges and many mistakes. But nothing prepared me for the heartache of all heartaches that I was to experience at the tender age of twenty-six Be prepared to cry, shake your head, and rejoice while reading my book.
