Shanita Perdomo’s Latest Release
"A beautifully written exploration of how to move beyond survival and into thriving. The author maintains a deeply loving and humane perspective despite the harsh circumstances, which makes this book both moving and inspiring. Highly recommend."
She could have allowed her environment to define her, but instead she fought her way through it and that fight left me deeply inspired. This book moved me to tears, not out of pity, but because it so clearly shows how God can use life’s trials to shape us and push us into our purpose.

"I couldn’t put it down! This was such a captivating memoir and inspiring story about a family’s perseverance through life’s challenges. I think anyone connected with the foster care system should read this."

"What an emotional roller-coaster. Every chapter is filled with so much emotion, but not to overbearing. You get a nice sense of where the author thought process was and she does such a great job of bringing you into her shoes. If I could add 5 more stars to this review I would."
