Reviews
"What an inspiring read. Erica’s book is part self help and inspiring personal stories that she masterfully weaves together. Many times I thought to myself that the lessons she reflects on should be read by all teens in school. The over arching theme of personal responsibility, resiliency and hard work is something that benefits all of us. You can feel the emotion in her writing, which draws us in deeply, connecting with each chapter and drawing out our own emotions. If this is her first book I’m looking forward to future books"

It beautifully captures the journey of breaking the cycle of adversity and growing up in challenging circumstances. The book's empowering narrative resonates strongly, reminding us of the strength that comes from embracing one's roots and overcoming obstacles."
