About

I am not a best-selling author (yet!), nor have I won any awards, nor am I a Pastor, or a confident Evangelist… I was not sure what to write for this author’s note, but having told you what I am not, I guess it would be a good idea to let you know what I am. 

I am a Black British woman who grew up in Essex with white foster parents in the 70s. For a period, I was the only black kid in my school. Aged around 12, I went to live in Nigeria with my birth parents, then I was the only cockney in school. My sense of not fitting in gave rise to feelings of low self-esteem. This, more often than not, led to unwise decisions with painful consequences.

I had finally reached rock bottom when I was introduced to Jesus. I have now been a Christian for several years. I have served in various areas of the church - usually areas where I can help and support those in pain.

I think the most important thing for you to know is that I have experienced both the trials and the triumphs of life and been able to pull through with God’s help. I do not want to convince you that Christianity is a magic solution for all of our problems - it’s not. What I want to show is how walking with Jesus will always bring about better outcomes (even when in dark times), than walking alone. 

When I became a Christian, I was an emotional mess. This is a book written out of some painful situations I have lived through and come out the other side of. Maybe the next book I write will be about my life and how I got into those situations. But this book is about God’s love and how He enabled me to experience freedom in some very troubling circumstances.
