I thank God every day for giving me a voice through my writing and making a difference to someone along the way. My main reason for writing this book is to let young girls and women who are going through and have been through similar experiences-such as physical, verbal, and emotional abuse, rape, homelessness, and joblessness-know that they are not alone and there is always hope.

Produktbeschreibung
I thank God every day for giving me a voice through my writing and making a difference to someone along the way. My main reason for writing this book is to let young girls and women who are going through and have been through similar experiences-such as physical, verbal, and emotional abuse, rape, homelessness, and joblessness-know that they are not alone and there is always hope. I want to let you know that with faith and strong persistence, you won't lose your self-esteem but build confidence within yourself. You do not have to stay in any situation for any reason whatsoever, for we are all overcomers. Yes, I've been angry, and I've felt rage; however, I turned those emotions into positive encounters. I have built my life on the philosophy that my corner of the world will not be the same just because I have passed this way. So in my journey, I have decided to touch as many lives as possible, and I believe the circulation of this book will allow me to touch even more lives. I would like to let others know that they can believe in themselves, their goals, and their dreams because they will become what they believe.

Autorenporträt
Dawn Hamilton began writing poetry at a very young age. As a teenager, she found it difficult to express her thoughts, but while she was attending Independent City's all-ages school in St. Catherine, Jamaica, she took advantage of a journal her mom had given her and started writing about how she felt as a teenager. Dawn relates, "It became my freedom. I didn't realize then that it would become my horizon along life's pathway. Writing sustains me through difficult times." She calls her poems "Letters to God,? and with every one she writes, she prays that he will respond and that she will hear his voice. According to Dawn, "To endure is difficult, but to deal with physical and verbal abuse is heart rending." She thanks God every day for paving a way for her voice to be heard. She currently resides in New York City, and she has received numerous awards for her work, including the International Merit Award for Poetry, Outstanding Achievement in Poetry, and several editors' choice awards. Her work can be found with the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC), an organization whose mission is to enhance, develop, promote, and preserve creative talents among Jamaicans.
