The Journey of A Rose From The South

By Sherrye L. Washington

I was born to be a chameleon, having to continuously adjust and change to please my parents and ultimately lead a successful life. My life has sometimes been cyclonic, tossing and twisting me to and fro, but I have discovered that I was built for this. And still, I stand, resilient, like a cat with nine lives. From birth, the odds seemed stacked against me. Still, I arrived as a fighter and have continued fighting throughout my life--literally and figuratively. I wrote this book to encourage and inspire others to look past their circumstances on their journey to overcoming trauma, particularly that surrounding family. Finding ways to heal from my deep hurt made me realize that many people have had similar experiences. I am proud of myself for overcoming my childhood trauma. It took me a while, but I did it! As I did during my difficult childhood, some teens or adults may be asking themselves, "Is it me or something else that led me down this very dark path?" I hope that, by sharing my journey, with all of its pitfalls, pains, joys, and triumphs, you will see that fighting for the good that we are all worthy of in life is what is needed to get to that place of recovery.
