In this book you will find experiences of my grandmother, brother, and daughters deaths. How it felt to be one of the first blacks to attend an all-white school, how I was betrayed by my first love. Having to raise my grandchildren, one of them severely autistic, I wrote this book to encourage someone that no matter how bad life gets, God is always there to see you through it. As the title states, I was bent but not broken. Through it all I would not change a thing, because it made me the strong woman that I am today. I give God all the glory! My proceeds from this book will go toward making my grandsons future a happy one. He is seventeen and growing.

I am sixty-one years of age, I love God with all my heart, soul, and mind, and I have one daughter and five grandchildren whom I love very much. I raised three of my grandchildren as my own. I remarried about three years ago. I attend the Living Word of God Church. I am chosen by God to be his mouthpiece. I love cooking and helping others. I am retired and starting my second book.
