Rainey and her two sisters live life drowning in the desires and practices of their strict mother, until she found herself caught up in the web triangle of Malik Johnson, a high-ranking, hands-off trafficking drug dealer. He not only pushed Rainey's sex button, he enraptured her mind and soul.

We often say "I’m fine" when we’re emotionally, physically, and spiritually on edge. In Who I’ve Become, Sonya shares her own painful experience as a victim of childhood sexual abuse - from being pursued by one family member’s perversions to being used by several others - and lying to keep up the façade that everything was okay, when she was hurting inside. This book is more than a testimonial; it is a resource to help you take off the mask and find the person God created you to be. Who I’ve Become is a mirror of truth. Are you ready to meet the true you?
