An inspiring true story of a woman's triumph!
As you read this story, you'll see that this author really has the manifesting thing down. She has learned not to give power to her challenges and instead revels in the blessings that a less disciplined person might even overlook or take for granted. Finding out that she's pregnant in her thirties, and flirting with the acceptance that her partner might not really be completely present, the author gathers up all her strength and resilience to serve Ameerah, her unborn child, by turning the story of their challenges into a piece of art that most any woman can relate to. I highly recommend this book to any mother, single or otherwise. The writing is both easy and beautiful, and the author's meaningful poetry appears throughout the book.
