Sharon Blake is a mother of three children and "nana" to four grandchildren.
Sharon herself has overcome some major barriers in her life; she has been
homeless and is an ex-addict, ex-prostitute and a domestic violence survivor.
The person she became originated from her childhood and would require a
major overhaul of her thoughts, will, and her emotions. Her desire is to promote
hope and healing to those who need hope and healing. Sharon's life would not
be her life without the love of her father Jesus Christ; to him she owes more than
she can give.This is her way of giving her life away, by being transparent in order
to help someone else.
She has an AA degree in Human Service Management, as well as Chemical
DependencyTrainee Certificate through the state ofWashington. Her work with
the homeless/addicted population has inspired her to share her story; this is
where she recognized the importance of being transparent in helping others.
The goal for writing this book is to help shed light on why individuals get to
some very desolate places in life. Her forecasted programs include creating women's recovery and support groups, as well as
opening a women's home to help women get off the streets.
This book is my journey to recovery. It is a story of pain and
hurt, of joy and healing. It is a testimony of a prostitute, a
liar, an alcoholic, and a drug addict. It is an experience of a
child who grew up without love, or rather a wrong concept
of love, and growing up seeking for that love. It is a life lived
seeking for love, getting hurt, and hurting others in effect.
My purpose for this book is that someone would read it and
know that they too can come out of pain, and that they too
are capable of love and being loved.
Join me as I recount my journey.
