From the Author
In writing Everything Will Be All Right I had to mentally take myself back into time to a place where we lived in a constant state of crisis. Old feelings resurfaced, of being afraid, of being complacent with poverty, of losing any sense of self-esteem, and of the hunger of deprivation. Even though I was already financially independent when writing this book, it surprised me that poverty itself never fully releases its hold on victims. $0.99 on Kindle.
