Are you ready to RISE? Have you ever felt life was against you? If your answer is YES, then you're not alone. Author Debra Lynn Hayes can relate.

This book is dedicated to the authors four sons who now live in heaven. R-Randall I-Isaac S-Stefan E-Ephraim

Imagine experiecing the death of two infants, the death of your teenager, abortion and it's aftermath, broken engagements, the death of a parent, the death of a best friend, divorce, foreclosure, financial ruin, and injustice from the judicial system. These are just a few of the personal tragedies Debra has turned into triumph.

Debra's touching, often humorous, down-to-earth real life story takes you on a journey through guilt, self-condemnation, and poor self-image. In the process she discovered peace, contentment, and forgiveness.

She exposes raw emotions most people are uncomfortable discussing while sharing four steps to move toward abundant living. These steps can be applied to the smallest disappointment or the greatest tragedy.

Debra is an author and speaker who understands that everyone's journey of healing is an individualized process. She leads and guides those who have experienced major tragedies, deep heartaches and mind altering disappointments. She believes each mourning or loss is unique and no one can "coach" you through that. But it is priceless to connect to someone who "gets it". Because of the loss of her four children, both parents, divorce, toxic relationships, and financial ruin she gets where you are. She knows first hand the numbing shock of tragedies and the times that followed navigating a new "normal". She knows what it is like to feel stuck and wishing the world would end. But she did not stay there....she got up and discovered what it takes to RISE above those circumstances trying to define her.
