Be Not Alone

The strength and resilience to live through adversity. The courage to revisit trauma and the determination to heal no matter the odds. The author allows readers to feel her love of home and experience her many moments of joy growing up as a child in a close-knit community in her hometown of Kingtom Sierra Leone pre-Civil War. For the next chapter of her life Rasie takes readers through her times of hurt anguish fear and pain but she does so with so much thought reminders to readers to take good care of ourselves. Within this powerful and sometimes heartbreaking story there is still so much hope one can't help but marvel at Rasie's zest for living life purposefully. For like she says in her book 'I am working on purpose and beyond grateful for this opportunity to live on purpose.' Thank you Rasie for sharing this journey with us. I am beyond grateful.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(249 249 249 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>- Joy Walcott-Francis PhD author editor blogger</span></p><p><br></p>
