​

The Hand You Hold  is a memoir about my life and how the relationships I have had with people have helped me grow and molded me into the person I am today. An experience will always leave a mark in ones life, whether it be a gentle touch or a painful burn can not be anticipated. I believe that every experience one goes through will leave a mark but it is our choice whether or not we want it to be a scar. I have been through many things that have questioned my faith, my hope and my relationships with certain individuals, but upon reflection, I always see the message and the lesson behind my experiences, and that is why I am as strong as I am today. The people in my life have given me things and taught me lesson I never could have learned on my own, and for that I am forever greatful.
