    About this ebook

    Dr. Theresa A. Harris-Tigg grew up in a two-parent-family, loving home with four siblings. From childhood through her teenage years, she lived in two remarkable homes, one an apartment over a printing store and the other the family’s first and only single-family residence. At eighteen, she was kicked out of the family home because she was pregnant.

    In Through These Doors, she offers a first-hand account of her trajectory as a teenage mom and child bride to earning the highest education degree offered. Narrating with kindness and honesty, she provides a vibrant, behind-the-scenes chronological account of her life and how it is interwoven with God’s grace and mercy.

    This memoir chronicles one woman’s lived experiences, resilience, and belief as she navigated through racism, teen pregnancy, paternity, friendships, Black-girl’s-rock success, trust, and what she uncovered about life. Through her story, Harris-Tigg helps others grasp life’s spiritual characteristics, recognize God’s power, and acknowledge God’s handiwork in our lives.
