This book is a gripping saga of a young woman's journey from adolescence to adulthood at an accelerated pace. It is an exploration of a troubled teen's journey into the underworld to emerge as an independent and self-assured woman. Pitfalls, tragedy, and trials lure an honor student into the streets of Atlanta and New York. Her journey led her through a fiery furnace that burned 70% of her body. After God saved her from a life of sin, her zeal for God resulted in her making additional mistakes, including renewing the abusive relationship that had almost cost her life. The story is a modern day version of Dante's Inferno. Each layer of hell corresponds with a new low in the protagonist's life. From within the bowels of hell, she cries out to the Lord for salvation. This spiritual epiphany becomes a turning point in her life, thrusting her forward from hell. The tremendous suffering and miraculous ending of this book will offer hope and comfort for anyone suffering from loneliness, heartache, or disappointment. It provides a realistic perspective on many topics such as teenage rebellion and pregnancy, domestic violence, divorce, AIDS, substance abuse, prostitution, and the legal system.
