I believe that the God given right to freedom, respect and dignity will be neither gained nor enjoyed until the truth is uncovered and confronted. Truth, the pulse of life is our association with certainty.It is faith,belief and conviction, unadulterated. Truth is authenticity. Therefore, I am committed to bringing my truth into the light, with all its colors and nuances. Writing my book was at times mentally and emotionally agonizing, but life comes forth in pain. However, the joy of holding a new born shadows any memory of physical distress.

My book is a "new born" testament to the power of truth. I wrote it neither to seek revenge nor point an accusatory finger. Instead, it is my intention to speak out against the foes of truth, the hypocrisy and lies that shackle and destroy, making unwilling victims of innocent individuals, unaware that pain and humiliation are not an integral part of an acceptable daily life.

Truth is an influential and potent force, undefeatable and unchanging. It is also the key to finding personal satisfaction,self-respect,dignity and peace of mind.

<i>And the word was made flesh,and dwelt among us. And we saw His glory-glory as of the only begotten son-full of grace and of truth!</i> John 1:14

May God bless you as He has blessed us, and if you ask Him,humbly and in good faith, He will, for the Lord is the Way, the Life and the Truth.
