Wings of a Butterfly Zanthia Boyd-kesselly

I am a SURVIVOR! Because of Gods, Love, Mercy & Grace, I have been blessed to have the ability to share "my story" through my works: Writing short stories, poetry and novels as well as public speaking. Today, I am grateful for life. Yet saddened by the statistics, in relation to, the number of women who has lost there lives at the hands of another. Therefore, I dedicate my life to telling my story and helping women who have fallen victim of domestic violence by spreading knowledge & words of encouragement to whomever & where ever God sends me! This book includes Various Poetry and Short Stories including an excerpt from my upcoming novel, "The Blackest Blue" In stores Spring 2016 To this day all I can remember is being drug from the car by my hair; my back sliding across the graveled parking lot, and my already broken right leg being pulled by its' ankle. And the rods that protruded the outer right side of my thigh, being tugged at by the large rocks that shifted beneath me. As I looked around the unfamiliar City Park, I remember thinking that today was the day; that he would come through on all of his sinful promises and deadly threats. As he held the 9mm handgun to the center of my head, my daughters' face, which was then seven years old, flashed before my eyes and my heart fell at the thought of leaving her to face this cruel world alone. The 10 years that I was in an abusive relationship, I was merely a caterpillar... Today, I am a beautiful Butterfly Thank GOD I have earned my wings... I rise and I fly!
