Knowing Me

By Jasmine Fleur

Amid a world bereft of luxuries and entitlements, a girl grows up with little hope of becoming anyone important. She is only able to escape her pain and dream of a better future through the pages of her beloved books.

As she helplessly watches her parents rapidly descend into despair and failure, she learns to cope with reality, makes the best of what she has, and, while wishing she could do something to make life perfect for her family, plays within an imaginary world. When her coming-of-age journey leads her into young adulthood, she makes several life-changing mistakes that, at first, prompt self-pity but then eventually open her eyes to a new world where unlimited possibilities await. But will she be able to summon the inner strength to leave her past behind and embrace freedom and her true identity?

Knowing Me shares the touching tale of a girls struggles as she grows up poor in a dysfunctional family and eventually sets out on journey of self-discovery where anything is possible.
