Author Ollie Anderson believes "Most of us have done things in life that we wish we had not done. We struggle through guilt, hurt, depression, shame and other emotions that seem to pull us deeper into that black hole of self-torment. You can recover There is a way out " As she has found her true purpose in life after her own storm she had to fight, Anderson now enjoys life by sharing what knowledge and experiences she had and inspiring others to keep going in life amidst trials and adversities they may encounter - all within the pages of her new book, "FORGIVEN." Here she pens a riveting story following life of a 14- year old girl who is pregnant and alone in a big city. Daughter of a preacher who had forgiven others but found it hard to forgive her, she was forced to grow up alone and detached from her family. She had to learn to survive. Yet after the events she went through, she got to the point of questioning, had she ruined her life and the life of her unborn child? Only time would tell. "FORGIVEN" is a story not only of this 14-year-old girl but the story of most women who were abandoned by their families because of mistakes in the past. This is a story not of one but of many which will truly inspire many others. This is a story familiar to many, thus Anderson leaves everyone an inspiring message, "Life deals us situations that can be painful. If you can't change it, if you continue to be strong, you can out live it. You hold the key to your destiny, no one else Allowing the actions of others to dictate your course of action, gives them control over your life, not you You can take back your control " Forgive and be forgiven because unforgiveness carries with it too high a price tag
