Not only does she learn a hard but valuable lesson she continues to learn other hard lessons about the streets which can make most people have no emotions however, she continued to hold on to that part of herself that would not allow 16 years of street life to change her heart which was all she could hold onto. DEAD GIRL WALKING is a story about living in constant paranoia and triumphantly gaining peace back in your life through divine intervention.

Life is truly not your own especially when abuse, prostitution, and drugs become a way of life. I wrote this book to give courage and hope to others who are currently going through the same pain that I had in the past. I want my book to be a lantern that will help light the path to balance spiritual peace and higher self-esteem. I also needed to set the record straight with my family members. Throughout my whole ordeal I knew there was a Higher Power working in and through me guiding my steps however, drugs were pulling me into an abyss of delinquent behaviors which changed who I was on the outside but never the person I am at heart.
