    About this ebook

    Author Darlene Linda Jones-Brooks has been through a lot in her lifeand, strangely enough, many of the worst physical experiences have happened on the left side of her body.

    When she was thirteen, a cousin accidentally stabbed her in the wrist. As an adult, she got caught in the crossfire of random shooting and lost half her left kidney due to the resulting injury. Later, a severe pain in her left leg led to a diagnosis of lupus, and she developed breast cancer, with the tumor appearing in her left breast. In addition, over the course of her life, she has been a victim of rape and has dealt with her pain using drugs and alcoholoften with damaging consequences. In spite of it all, though, she went back to her first love, her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now she lives her life for the Lord and is steadily growing in his Word.

    This memoir tells the personal narrative of a woman who has endured much pain and struggle in her life but now turns to God for support through troubles.
