The Spirit Within Me

The Spirit Within Me is a book about a woman who persevered through some of life's most challenging times. The book begins with she and her little sister who were molested by a trusted family member. Later in life, she married a man who would turn out to be abusive to her for 13 years before having the courage to divorce him. 


Her second marriage was just as bad, as she unknowingly married an alcoholic. Then she found out her son had cancer. She received absolutely no support from her husband. After years of mental abuse she divorced for a second time, only to vow never to marry again. Several years later when she least expected it, she was introduced to a man, through a mutual friend, who turned out to be her soul mate. Then one Christmas Eve day her life came to be one of her greatest challenges of all... a devastating medical event which changed her life forever, and how she overcame adversity she never thought possible.
