      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      This book is dedicated to my mother, sister, and father.
      To our story, and to the impact I hope to make through it.
      Author Testimony

      I want this book to be something people read and resonate with. I don’t want people to feel sorry for me, dwell on the details shared, think I’m just whining, or spend too much time trying to decipher anything; it may take a few times around for that. I want people to understand It’s much bigger than me. Like many before, I want this to be an example for all who have struggled. It’s meant to show how they can overcome; that it is possible.

      These are ongoing issues that exist in all communities around the world. I didn’t write this as an attempt to convey some sort of unjust mistreatment by life, but to bring to light issues so many people face and never find a way out of. This is just the beginning and I’m quite anxious to see how people respond. I hope I’m able to utilize this for much more going forward, but regardless, there is more work to come, more refined work. I’ll always be a writer, no matter what.
