    About this ebook

    What if every weekend with my parents was always a time to dread?

    When you are a child, you naturally expect to feel safe, but that was not my experience.

    What if your mom was an accessory to the crimes your dad permitted?

    What if you carry anguish, pain, and devastation of your childhood into your marriage?

    What if, instead of your dad being a protector, he is instead the one who brings terror into your life?

    Deanna Jones

    Deanna Jones is a speaker and trainer from Columbus, Ohio. She uses her professional and personal experience to empower those around her. By helping to cultivate hope and operate in resilience, Deanna has empowered hundreds of individuals to achieve their goal. By the time Deanna was 18, she had aged out of foster care with two small children in tow and no help. She sought to defy the statistical failure that was sure to beset her by doing then what she teaches others now: deciding to have hope so that she could operate in resilience to achieve her goals. She did just that. Deanna is now the co-owner of Regal Beauty, a hair and beauty supply store in Columbus, Ohio, and owner of Deanna J. Speaks! Through Deanna J. Speaks, she engages in speaking, training, and life coaching. She is the mother of three children and a die-hard HGTV enthusiast.
