    About this ebook

    Stepping stones is based on a true story but has been modified to suite the tone of the story. Alexis, which is the main character of the story, has a health scare that she doesn’t feel she would be able to handle mentally and emotionally. Alexis often suffers from Sickle cell disease crises. When she began to experience other health complications, she begins to fear the unknown. She reverts to her religion in her time of need to help her find peace and serenity. With her mother by her side, she is able to build the resilience that she needs to accept and overcome the situation at hand.
