Autorenporträt
A transplant from Connecticut, S. S. Simpson found herself in deep south Texas right across the border from Mexico. She never knew how blessed she was and took most of it for granted. Simpson witnessed what poverty, hopelessness, and gangs can do to children and adults. Her education started in a gang-infested school, where she worked as a teacher. Her students had few rules and no boundaries. Surrounded with such need, Simpson started a street ministry, Chain Breakers, that provides hope and structure to all by teaching God's word and providing counseling for the broken and the discarded. Her passion is to provide a safe haven, a shelter where women, children, and men can go without the fear of not waking up. All money earned from this book will go to this endeavor.
