As a young black girl in a low-income, single-parent home, Novica Olinger finds herself in a life filled with obstacles designed to keep her on a statistical road to nowhere. The problem with statistics is most of the time, you don't get to hear the real stories behind that data; or you see negative stories played out on reality talk shows that just cause you to shake a judgmental head. In her own words, Novica gets to tell you her story. As an adult, Novica candidly recounts her struggles with being sexually abused as a child and becoming a teen mother at thirteen years old. This emotionally charged yet inspirational story recounts her journey of healing and determination. For years, she dealt with the lack of self-worth, self-confidence, and self-love until one day, she was captivated by the realization that God loved her. Thinking back over her childhood, Novica writes compelling accounts of supernatural events which revealed God's hand was in every event throughout her life. Discovering her true worth and identity in Christ, Novica decided that she was going to live her life unapologetically and on purpose while uncovering every blessing God has for her.
