About the Author from my perspective she is a daughter, sister, mother, friend and author but most importantly a "strong woman of God " They say A person has to have been through some things in Life and have Learned from those things. Which in turn make you stronger and wiser if only you listen. Then and only then can you truly teach and share that knowledge, wisdom and understanding to help encourage others. Ms. Denese spreads knowledge of the Gospel to all that will listen. She is a true minister of faith in God. Always carrying, giving, loving and uplifting. She always encourages me especially when I'm ready to give up or upset about a situation, she gives me scriptures to read from the Bible on which are always on the spot on what I'm going through, then we pray together, I don't think she realizes just how much that means to me. I absolutely Love Her for that Also, her famous quote "I won't get Bitter, I'll get Better." To know Denese Haynes is to love her and I thank God for putting her in my Life. Paris Carter
