Born To Return The Gift

‘Born To Return The Gift’ is a faith based novel that deals with many harsh realities of life. Experiencing a life wrought with many battles, Nyima's character is one that many, if not all readers can relate to because we all have made mistakes that we sometimes have trouble rising above. She is a high school drop out whose bad choices lead her down a tumultuous path of other wrong choices such as teenage pregnancy, domestic violence, and a life ravaged by alcohol and drugs. After years of abuse and wrong choices, it takes its toll on her when she can't seem to break the cycle, even more than two thousand miles away from home. When a chain of events spiral out of her control her physical and spiritual struggle compels a journey of self-exploration. During this conflict, she finds inner strength through her belief in God as the highest source of power. Then when the recurring nightmare that she's managed to keep at bay for five years is finally revealed to her, a life changing transformation begins. Nyima comes to terms that even at a half century old, anything is possible for those who know the power within them and know who they are, regardless of what others may tell them. With her faith intact, and trusting what she has learned fills her with hope for a brighter tomorrow.
This novel is uplifting and particularly gives hope to those dealing with similar issues. There are some harsh scenes, and language which is censored with (~), but they are necessary to show the extremes of Nyima's survival and the inspiration behind the reality of Nyima's turnaround.
