Oh wow! Ok, so I’m on page 45. Your book is straightforward to read. It kept me very interested, and
it’s crazy how many things you went through that correlate to my life story. (Goosebumps and hair
standing on end.) Your book will help many people, I believe. Both men and women. I love your color
illustrations. Our connection came at a good time for me.

Good read. I had no idea what you had been through!! I was shocked to find out. 😔I’m glad you are
here and got to write your story. I had not known that about your mom. When we were around
everything seemed so normal, but, I guess that’s how those kinds of people are. I feel so sad that
no one knew and could help. Back then you didn’t dare say a word.

Oh my Lord beautiful lady I am in tears.. oh I am sick how you were treated.. Lettie I can’t put this down.. already I see so much of my life in yours with choosing men. I did not have physical abuse with my parents but I sure had abusive men. I told my mom at church that I thought your mom looked mean and she scared me.. no wonder you were so shy.. I should have reached out more.. Lettie.. sister in Christ you are someone incredibly special.. I want you to know I admire your courage and strength. This book was exactly what I needed right now.. the Holy Spirit has been laying on my heart about my journey and testimony and I have been too fearful to do it.. you just lit a fire for me!!!
