Book Description
Have you wondered if you were just born unlucky? Even at the early age of three, I knew my life was not "normal". Throughout my childhood, I looked at my friends and their families and their lives, and mine certainly didn't match any of those! Sometimes you really do have to get to the other side to see what God has brought you through. I once heard a wise old man refer to "unlucky families," and I thought for sure that was my niche. I felt like the poster child for unclaimed baggage. In fact I had spent years just trying to recreate my life into one that I wanted. A life that was "normal" and so I learned to just let people think my life was perfect and I had relatively no problems. And then I felt God stirring in the very fibers of my soul with a message-a message I did not want to hear, a message I ran from until I was physically and emotionally exhausted. I could find no peace until one day, I just threw up my hands and said, "Okay, God, You win. I will write the book." Writing a book about your life means having to relive so many things you had hoped to forget. Many tears were shed at the keyboard. This book is for someone. I hope it is you, and I hope you find solace in my words and God's direction. He will truly never leave you or forsake you. Be still and know. He is God.

Book Description
It was 1958, and back in the day, the old folks still seemed to have a saying for everything, especially in Suffolk, Virginia. One such saying was that if a baby took eleven months to arrive on this side of the hereafter, that same baby would meet its guardian angel face-to-face and be guarded and protected for the childs lifetime. Believe it or not, theres something else the old folks use to say about such a mystic birth, and that was that if the baby was born with a thin membrane covering the face, not only would that child be able to actually see its guardian angel one day, but also will have the gift of predicting the future. The guardian angel bit of news was of particular importance because that child experienced the death of a loved one and numerous harsh circumstances in life as well.
