Gracie was the oldest of three. She was kinda chunky, medium length wool-like hair, dark skin with buck teeth. Even though she wasn't cute, she was intelligent, and the strong one in the family. Gracie had an undying faith in God, she trusted Him with all that was within her. She waited on Him to answer her prayer no matter how long it took Her frail-minded mom worked two jobs, rarely around which left Gracie in charge of the house and raising her siblings at a young age. Her dad was the senior pastor at a little church on the side of the dusty road called "Temple." Gracie's earthly father knew his bible. Sunday after Sunday he'd preach that word He was a man that all admired because of his ability to lead, pray and heal....that is until he walked outside of Temple's doors. Outside the church, Gracie was in a life of turmoil. Her faith in God was challenged by many people that crossed her path. Perhaps snake blood runs ice-cold thru their veins, but she still believed in forgiveness. No matter what she encountered, Gracie tried to sustain her abuse, molestation, and heartbreak. Was there anyone who could break her spirit or make her lose her faith in God? When would this abusive nightmare end? Reading this phenomenal story will make you wonder "what is your breaking-point?" "How strong is your faith?" No matter what the adversary brought your way, could you have sustained your faith through the eyes of Gracie? Dive into the fictitious life of Gracie, however remember somewhere in the world these unfortunate circumstances are non-fiction through someone else's eyes Thank you for your support Copyright by Sherrie D.
