&quot;Toyi Ward brings out some great points of faith, hope, and love...we need to break generational curses...it took me on a roller-coaster ride of drama and deceit that some of the women put on themselves. Women have intuition and can see the &quot;red flags&quot;, but still allow the mess to unfold in their journey of life...worth the read! &quot;<br /><br />Adrienna Turner <br />AAMBC Reviewer <br /><br />&quot;You don't need to find adjectives to describe something when the product speaks for itself. It was a good book point, blank, period and anyone who picks it up will not be disappointed.&quot; - Author, Marie Antoinette, A Girl Called Job<br /><br />&quot;She's not the next, she's the NOW&quot;-  The Literary Consortium
