Battlescars takes you on a journey through the hilarious adventures I had with my brothers, then through ill-fated decisions that led me to a harrowing five-year relationship fraught with violence and fear. After making it out of the relationship with my life and three children, I steadfastly insisted on being a single mother for the rest of my life. However, the heavens had other plans. I met and married the love of my life . I floated along on the wings of love until I was blindsided by a terrifying breast cancer diagnosis. On the cancer battlefield, you'll experience with me the fear of facing death, daunting chemotherapy treatments, and the revelation that I could beat the disease and survive. For the first few years after my victory over cancer I looked to the future with trepidation, but soon kissed my fears goodbye and followed my dream of attending law school. Battlescars will show you that the trials, tribulations, and tragedies of life can be overcome with perseverance, faith, strength.
