I was born August 7th, 1984, in beautiful Kissimmee, Florida. This is my life, as I remember it. Raised between a father who ran the Florida streets and a mother who never quite knew how to love me, I grew up too fast in a world of fighting, jail cells, and broken promises. I became a mother myself, buried dreams, lost people I loved, and walked through fire after fire and I kept going. Life As I Remember It is my truth, unfiltered: the trauma, the tears, the mistakes, and the God who never let go of me. I wrote this for the one who’s still in it still fighting, still hurting, still wondering if better is possible. Read this and know: you are not alone. I never gave up, and neither should you. God isn’t done with me and He isn’t done with you. Ambery Antoinette, Author & Poet
