On the Steps

By Shameka M Staley

An intimate break out novel about life, loss & vulnerabilities; an admission of a story that relinquished feelings of abandonment, neglect and a life long search for love. The love of all others pale in comparison to the love that a mother has for that which grows in her womb. That connection is matchless. That is unless the mother is suffering from drug addiction, physical abuse and mental anguish. These were the circumstances surrounding Shameka's conception, the climate in which she was born and the catalyst to her journey that essentially started "On The Steps."At 8 years old Shameka learned that she was not being raised by her birth mother and began to question herself and her family. Struggling with self-blame resulted in her turning away from God and tumbling down a path of confusion and resentment. Decades later, she begins to find her way and realizes her purpose in life. Sharing this story has been self healing while inspiring, encouraging and motivating others.
