hey guys, this is my first book and i want to share my journey. if you don't know me, continue to read on. i'm from the bay area, ca. my life growing up was not pretty– i grew up with inconsistent-no parents having to do life basically alone. when i was 15 i moved out into a whole new city in the east bay, ca. i was broken, lost, and lonely. i've cried a lot, prayed a lot, questioned a lot, seen a lot, felt a lot, been through a lot, written a lot. i have been writing poetry since i was six years old as my outlet. i eventually developed the courage to write about my story on how god used me. this book consists of my words that come from my heart, from 2015 till now. i talk about my testimonies which i hope it heals some wounds, opens some minds, opens some hearts. i hope it speaks to those that are in a similar place i was once in. i am the sunflower who grew from concrete, i was actually rooted underneath it all this whole time. (fun fact: not only did i write from my real p.o.v., but from many other peoples perspectives on different topics to make it as real and diverse as possible.)

let this book be your go-to when you need a reminder.

you deserve peace, healing, abundance, happiness, love, and everything great that life has to offer you. keep going. i hope my testimonies prove to you that you too can overcome your struggles, and that every sunflower must come from something. all glory to God.

put your faith in God. take your dreams serious. execute. exceed. create legacy. impact. repeat.

with love,

-abby
