Adopted - Monica Blackman

This is a riveting heartfelt story of triumph of a woman who has evolved in varying facets to be a discerning, kind and an unequivocally stylish, passionate soul. Her story starts in her picturesque native island of Jamaica, which gives a preview of the rebounding spirit she would need throughout her life. Her story of Adoption from the Natural to the Spiritual is one which greets the readers heart with emotions to protect, encourage, and love young Peggy McDonald. While the lack of encouragement and affection would affect her in her childhood, she discovered her worth not based on anyone's summation, but on what she felt was possible through her natural intuition. Her innate giftings would start to bloom in her young adult life as she traversed bustling New York City at the tender age of 18. She learnt some harsh lessons which gave her both a steely strength and quintessential capacity to care for the vulnerable or heartbroken. This memoir she has written is an honest look into a lady who pursues excellence in all aspects of her life, while allowing kindness to direct her soul.
