Surviving Me (ePub)

Tina is a self-professed ball-faced optimist and a full-fledged extrovert. She has overcome a life of adversity with her tenacious desire to succeed. Walk with her as she conquers one hardship after another by continuously taking the bull by the horns and defeating odds set before her.

She will capture your imagination while she recounts memories about adventures she took as early as four years old. Saturate yourself with her vivacious personality, speed, and infectious zest for life.

You will scratch your head in wonder and admiration at how she overcomes a suicide attempt, an early pregnancy, and shotgun marriage, ensued by the tragic loss of her husband and then later her very mind. Walk with her as she fakes it until she makes it through an uncanny ability to self-correct and overcome depression, guilt, and self-loathing. Being the open book she is and determined to be a good role model to her four children, she decides to write her memoirs. Seven years later, Surviving Me: An Outsiders Story is born. Now feeling totally relaxed in her own skin, she boasts an awesome family life and exciting marriage.

My hope is that my book will encourage all who suffer to pull their own socks up and push on to what is most desired, a happy heart and healthy mind. Giggle and weep as she recounts hair-raising adventures and disheartening losses in her typical uplifting style.
