The author takes readers on a deeply personal journey through a life marked by resilience in the face of relentless adversity. Beginning as a “blue baby” born into a family where love was scarce, the narrative unfolds through a childhood of rejection, maternal alienation, and the aching absence of familial bonds. The stark realities of being unwanted are vividly captured yet juxtaposed against moments of fleeting kindness from a father and brother, which provided brief sanctuaries of hope. “Life Persistence” explores pivotal moments of growth and defiance: escaping a toxic home, seeking solace in a convent only to find further betrayal, and ultimately charting a path of independence with little more than courage and $282. Each chapter binds together distressing memories of loss, profound self-discovery through therapy, and the determination to forge a new identity unshackled by past traumas.
