About the Author
Flo Young has had bumps and bruises for as long as she can remember; however, through life's hardships and disappointments, God has been that consistent source that keeps her ship afloat. She arrives on scene from very humble beginnings, growing up on a farm in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, with ten other siblings. When she was about to give up the fight at thirteen, God showed her life was worth living as long as she walked in His light. She grew up learning to deal with many challenges; married at 18 to her high school sweetheart only to be cheated by death's grasping hands ten years later. However, out of that union were born three beautiful children, in the spitting image of their father.
Five years later, Young married again to whom she thought was Mr. Right, who turned out to be very wrong. Young dealt with his lies, deceit, drugs and alcohol abuse that almost cost her life. God had always been the ultimate source who taught her through His spirit to press on in spite of how things looked. Therefore, through the Holy Spirit's constant nurturing, she was called upon to write poetry that brought relief. This book is a brief synopsis of the resulting experiences that has comforted her throughout her journey.
