| "This is my story, so I might as well tell you why you should read this book. It will tell you the story of my life, my choices and their consequences. I rejected my Hispanic values to become "my own person" and to make choices. I was hurt badly and it took me a long time to heal. I had the help of a good friend who was always there for me. Her belief in me helped me to believe in myself and that, with God's help, I WOULD BE HEALED! And I was. I forgave all those who had hurt me, and I can be a friend for you. I hope the dramatic twists and turns of my story might inspire other women to make the right choices, and that the men in their lives will support them in those choices. So please join me on my journey and choices from growing up on Cape Cod, to running away as a teenager to Miami, and from there as a changed wife and mother to a new life with hope in Vermont. |
