DEDICATION
To my wonderful children, Quarriona, Tra’Maine, Rae’Tierra, and Sa’Viyahn. You all endured just as much as I did. You are all my rock. You are the reasons why I continued pushing and why my eyes were one day opened, allowing me to see beyond my own fears. It is because of you that I chose to live and take back my life. I am the proudest mom ever, and I truly thank God for entrusting the four of you to me. I love you all more than you will ever know.
To my wonderful, loving, patient, supportive, smart, and sexy husband, John H. Sylvester III. You gave me a totally different outlook on life, love, and the two of them combined. Until you came into my life, I did not know that good men still existed. You showed me that chivalry is not dead. It was you who gave me a heart to love again after all that I had endured. You have stood by me through my good days and bad days, my happiness and anger, my laughs and tears. Thank you for loving me back to health. I love you immeasurably.
To my friends, Michelle and Jeffery Ferguson. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for knowing in spirit what I was not willing to share openly. Even in the passing moments of life, I know I can always count on you two to remain true to who you are. You are genuine people of God.
Last but not least, to my best friend, Ashaunti Anderson. You have been my friend since we were 12 years old, and you have remained the same since then. You have never judged me and always tolerated me. You have taken my good and bad, my ups and downs, and my seriousness with the craziness. Despite these things, you have always kept it real. You tell me the things that I do not want to hear and the things that I need to hear. Through it all, you have remained loyal and a constant friend that I know I will always be able to depend on. No one but you is as crazy as me. I love you, girl!

PREFACE
God has taught me a lot, and He has brought me a mighty long way. All the praise, honor, worship, utterances, and everything else belong to Him.
Without God, I would not be here. I could have, should have, and would have been dead were it not for God. He saw it fit for my life to be spared as I endured the hardest 7 years of my life. He spared my life even as I disobeyed Him and did what I wanted to do. He saw it fit for me to be here right now, in this moment, sharing my story and allowing each of you to witness a portion of His goodness.
I am blessed to be the wife and mother that I am today. I am blessed that God chose me to pastor the church He gave to us. I am blessed to be a spiritual mother, covering, mentor, counselor, and guide for those who need it. All the credit goes to God. He is truly deserving of it, and I take no credit for anything that takes place in my life.
God is, has been, and always will be my all. For without Him, I am nothing and I can do nothing.
Lord God, I bless you!
PERSONAL NOTE
We all come to a different understanding of a situation through our own personal experience. Some individuals who were previously involved in my life may view the explicit details differently than I have shared in these pages. In this book, I share details about how I felt emotionally and physically during that time. The following chapters in this book reveal my brokenness, fears, betrayal, pain, and the many lessons
