In loving memory of my beloved Charlene, Still Standing is a testament to love, resilience, and the unshakable hope we find in Jesus.

​

Life’s journey has been anything but easy. As a young single mother of three in the 1970s, I faced judgment, struggle, and moments of overwhelming doubt. Teenage motherhood carried a heavy stigma, and support was scarce. Yet, through every challenge, I held onto a promise—to give my children the very best of me, no matter the cost.

​

This book is my story. A story of perseverance. A story of faith. A story of rising each day with courage, even when the world seemed determined to knock me down.

​

Still Standing is for anyone who has ever felt lost, weary, or unseen. It is a reminder that no matter how hard life gets, hope endures, and with faith, we can overcome.

​

Join me on this journey, and may you find strength in these pages to keep standing, no matter what life brings.
