Story Behind The Book
Many of us go through life not fully understanding why certain things happened or why we felt led to make decisions. Often times there are unseen forces unknown to us orchestrating things like the wizard behind the curtain. We are born in to this world with purpose and destiny. If we follow the destined path, we will fulfill our duty to humanity and go the way of the ancestors in peace. It is critical that we do not allow circumstances, doubters, or naysayers keep us from the pursuit of goals or aspirations. The process of death begins the moment we are born which is precisely why we must go hard after our dreams and do it unapologetically. Keturah's Song was one of grief and turmoil but her fierce determination to overcome circumstances makes her a role model and force to be reckoned with.
