Choosing To Belong

Has anyone ever asked you to do something, and it felt impossible? For years, my brother urged me, "Naomi, you need to write a book and tell your story!" But facing my past-my shame, my guilt-was something I didn't have the courage to do for a long time. Growing up as a multiracial woman of color, raised by a teenage single White mother who battled mental illness, childhood trauma, abusive relationships, and a life skirting the law, left me questioning my identity, my body, and my worth. This is more than just my story-it's the journey of a heroine finding her way out of darkness, driven by a desperate search for God and answers. It's also a tender exploration of a fractured mother-daughter bond, two broken souls longing for love, healing, and redemption. This book invites you into that journey to witness the struggle, the survival, and the hope of choosing to belong.
