"Meant to Be" is the story of my life. I talked in great detail about my childhood and what I went through. After high school I wanted to leave Minnesota and I moved to Hawaii where I fell in love with the islands. I talk about the many fun adventures; swimming with dolphins and turtles, stingrays and fish. Climbing big mountains and walking over hot lava, skydiving and all the adventures on the islands. In my early twenties I fell into abusive relationships and many times the abuse was so scary, I thought I would die. God saved me many times and I owe Him my life. My life changed because of Him. This book is not just about the abuse I endured as a child and young adult, but I share how I became an overcomer and changed my life for the better. I am stronger today because of what I went through and my hope is that readers will find hope and encouragement through my story. If my story can touch one life than writing this book was worth it!
