This body of work stretches over the course of nine years, beginning at the author's tender age of fifteen. During this time, a full-on battle with rejection, abandonment, and unforgiveness are centered around her mother's untimely death, the broken marriage of her parents, and also one of her own. Journey with Carsen, who as a young woman sees her life as shattered and almost completely in disrepair; but she somehow finds the strength in God and the motivation from her children to keep pressing forward toward a better life.
