Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. If you understand what that means, then you'll appreciate this book. Was I a little hyperactive and mischievous? Perhaps. Regardless, taking the brunt of "the belt, the hand, or the hanger" when my siblings never had to endure such punishment led me to believe I must be adopted. I did not feel loved by anyone in my family growing up, and I suffered from a disfigurement that made me feel ugly. With the help of my Park Circle friends, I developed the ability to do what I put my mind to, leading me to domination by determination.

Thinking I knew better, I left home to make it on my own as a teenager and found "adulting" hard work. Yes, I made stupid decisions and occasionally found myself in deep trouble. The path I traveled led me to write this book to illustrate how God's roadmap can be navigated while achieving all your bucket list dreams.

I penned this book to captivate and enthrall readers. My small-town girl journey, shaped by a childhood of free play and independence, was anything but ordinary. As you journey with me through my memories, you will undoubtedly recognize a piece of yourself in my words. Be prepared for shocking revelations, as everything in this book is unquestionably the unvarnished truth--as I see it.
