This book is an autobiographical collection of poems that chronicles the author's life as she went through some of the hardest times in her life. Her commentary brings insight into the origins of the poems and how readers can see God leading her through the wilderness to a new marriage and stronger senses of faith and peace. Shontisha Martin is the mother of three handsome young men, a wife, a high school teacher of fifteen years, and a woman of faith. She truly found the lord for herself at age of fifteen. If you ask her, "her life is a testament of faith." She buried her first three children and God blessed her to have 3 more. Her eldest son died and came back again at age thirteen. Her first marriage ended in a divorce and God blessed her to find love once again. Throughout all of life's ups and downs, she has held onto her faith and God has seen her through.
