New Beginnings

by Lena Cottingham

Overview

Coming from a person who never previously picked up a book for fun, suddenly I had a story to write. I want this story to help someone in an abusive relationship that may feel they have nowhere to go. I want this book to equip you with the mindset that material things have no real value when you're living in hell. I want you to keep moving forward, even when you feel the world is against you. I want you to understand life will still continue, even if you feel like it's over. Don't ever give up on yourself and your dreams. When you least expect it, the person you thought you lost in your life may walk right back in (YOU). Showing compassion and understanding goes a long way rather than blaming someone for their issues.

I only hope when you finish reading this book you find your INNER STRENGTH, HAPPINESS, INNER PEACE, and direction in your life!

About the Author

Living in Detroit, Michigan (Highland Park to Royal Oak Township), I witnessed poverty firsthand because I was a part of it. I had to grow up quickly in my elementary school years and learn survival skills. When I was sixteen I gave birth to my son, then at nineteen married my high school sweetheart after graduation. One thing I did feel throughout my life was LOVE and comfort from my mother. I had a village of family, special shout out to my second mom Aunt Dorothy, to turn to when I was growing up, so although life may have seemed awful by the naked eye, I generally felt happy. My goal is to embrace the love and support I received in my upbringing and be a village for whomever I come in contact with throughout my life.

Now, I’m divorced with three adult children and one daughter-in-law, along with two grandchildren and one on the way. I would like to give Special Thanks to my daughter Lynette as I finish this book. Her assistance with editing and rereading helped me get to the point of publishing. I can’t express how I appreciate and love all my children: Bobby Jr., Jonathan and Lynette for the love and support each of them displayed as I embarked on this writing journey.
