Overview

Normal Dysfunction is the transformational story of a nappy headed "black" girl who grew up in poverty in Birmingham, Alabama. She grew up to believe that if you were dark skinned and nappy headed you were not worthy of love; which began a paralyzing cycle of self hate. The Author shares several accounts of her life experiences that planted seeds; which manifested into roots of anger and bitterness. She shares her battle with the demons of low self worth, anxiety, and fear; and how she found herself incarcerated in a mental prison, with no hope of being set free.She was broken, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Believing that her pain was too great to bear, rejection became her companion and self-loathing a way of life. She took no solace in living and therefore attempted to take her life.Walk with her, on her empowering journey to wholeness. Learn how she found the will to live, while no longer allowing the shame and guilt of her past to keep her silent, and to defeat the demons that plagued her. See the transformation as she became a new "Creation in Christ" who learned how to fight, and take back everything the enemy thought he stole from her.
