by Ebony Smith (Author)
"God never said our journey in life would be easy, however, He did say He would be our very present help in the time of trouble. Once we grasp that and hold on to it, our trials will seem so much easier." At age seventeen, Ebony Smith suddenly lost her father. Still reeling from a tumultuous childhood, this loss exposed a deep emptiness that sent her down a path of drinking, drugs and promiscuity that would forever impact her life. Growing up familiar with not so fashionable clothing and cold winters without the expensive comfort of heat, Smith and her three sisters lived simply. That all changed when her parents separated and pulled up their roots of stability, keeping them moving from place to place while grappling to understand their new version of normal. In the years to come, they would cling to each other through more loss and heartache. In this moving autobiography, Smith tells her story of great hardship and enormous strength with optimism and remarkable humor. Honestly describing the pain of childhood disappointment and the universal desire to see your parents healthy, happy, and together, Smith presents what it is like as a child and young adult to continually search for happiness-despite the obstacles life throws your way. Experience the healing power of God's love that put her back together, in her own heartfelt words.
