    About this ebook

    Her biography; UnPERFECT: GOD's PLAN REVEALED; tells the story of a young girl born in what is currently known as ZIMBABWE but was then known as colonial Rhodesia. This young girl lost her mother before she even got the chance to know her. She had to work hard throughout school in order to prove herself as not only as the youngest of 6, or as a daughter, but as a black girl. Even though we are shaken when reading on the troubles of her youth, we eventually see her succeed in a field where she ordinarily would not have a foot in the door. We then experience her own love story, how she met the father of her children, and the struggles they experienced together. She tells us of the birth of her first born and the most frightening scare she got at the time...all the way to the birth of her fourth and last child. She tells the story of her monumental career, and how she assisted the special needs people in our society, and how changing the life of one child in particular, inspired many. She ends the novel by discussing not only all she has learnt in 75 years, but describes who she still strives to become!
