Your Story Matters

In Your Story Matters, a group of individuals are featured who have had varying struggles throughout their lives that they've faced with grace and dignity. It wasn't always easy, but they have come out on the other side stronger and better individuals. 

Some people have said that it's in our suffering that we gain our character and redemptive qualities. It isn't the circumstances that occur in our lives that define us, but how we respond ot those things that build our character. The individuals featured in this book have chosen to respond productively and in healthy ways the majority of the times during their life circumstances. How do we know this? Because despite their circumstances, they are getting college degrees, resolving family differences, and giving back to their communities in large ways through volunteering, writing and becoming advocates for victims.
