Author Kogie Snyders was inspired to write this book after losing a close friend to suicide; a situation that was out of control as her friend didn't have emotional support. If someone was there to understand her pain, assist her with counselling and help her face her fears, she would not have had to go through such turmoil and ultimately end her own life.

This is the author's own personal story, experiences and testimonies. It follows her life's journey of abuse, fear, heartache, despair, poverty, determination, forgiveness and a fight to succeed. There are so many people who have and still are experiencing similar circumstances, who do not know how to respond or react in these situations. It is hoped that this true-life story will reach out to those people and encourage them to continue to fight and believe that there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel. You can move on; there is always hope and a chance at a fresh new beginning.

After all, the author didn't give up, against all odds!
