Thrown out with their mother by their father in middle of night at only three months old and abandoned, the author talks candidly about challenges of a childhood 'trapped in deep hole of being shy', their hiding place to protect their fragile sense of self and belonging due to pain of not knowing their father. But determined to find their purpose and not be defined by their circumstances, this book follows how they embraced their reality, how pain of not knowing their father pushed them to break barriers, find their purpose, become who they wanted to be.
Their story highlights importance of striving to achieve our goals, no matter our circumstances. Finding purpose in adversity. May their story encourage you to not let the world tell you who you are, to not let your circumstances define you. Don't let the pain you carry break you. Engage with your pain, and it becomes an asset, 'light you carry'. When we let our light shine, we shine. Life is for living but living isn't for life. You only have one life, make the most of the one life you have whilst you can.
