More and more pre-teens and teenagers are going through life
battling issues that they sometimes believe no one can truly
understand. Thankfully, there is now a book written not just
for pre-teens and teenagers, but for people from all walks of life,
regardless of their age, gender, religion or race.
This book brings to life the many hidden issues pre-teens
and teenagers struggle with every day. In reading this book you
will find out how one young girl was able to ride the waves and
weather the storms of her teenage years and with prayer, family,
and friends overcome it all.
Her story, told from the heart, takes you into the depth of her
struggles with cutting, anxiety, depression, anorexia, and suicide.
Shannon bared it all and through her story hopes to help other
young girls and boys overcome these struggles. The details are
visual and with the turn of each page you are left wanting to read
more on how she broke the chains and became free from cutting,
anxiety, depression, anorexia, and suicide.

This extraordinary young woman has generously shared her
personal struggle through pain, despair, and self-destructive
experiences in adolescence to the other side of enthusiastically
embracing life in young adulthood. To read this book is to
travel with her and to believe that there is hope for others. I look
forward to a sequel.
