Strength in Scars: Pain, Prison, and the Drunk Driver Who Changed Everything

Then the moment a drunk driver altered the course of her future. Bones mended, but the truth is healing is never just physical.

Strength in Scars is more than a book. It's courage on paper. It's truth without apology. It's a young woman rising and taking you with her.
