Description
Meet Ashley Dawson. Rich, popular, you'd think she had it all. Unfortunately, that isn't quite the case. Her life at home is a complete mess. Her dad abuses her physically and verbally, her stepmother could rival the Wicked Witch of the West and her twin stepbrothers have made it their one goal in life to torment her. When one runaway attempt fails miserably, she decides to stay at home permanently, suck it up and be grateful for little mercies. However, all that changes when the only bright light in her life is snuffed out. She runs away again, this time more successfully, and ends up in the care of a crazy African family, with an especially crazy grandmother , who teach her the true meaning of love, life and light, in the Lord. Hold on to your seats folks, it's gonna be a bumpy ride. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The world is spherical, meaning it's round so if you run away from your problems, you're gonna meet them again someday."- Gladys Martey.
