Have you ever asked yourself the questions: Who am I? What makes me happy? Questions that we dare not even ask because we don't deem ourselves worthy or deserving. Maybe we were waiting for someone else's permission to do so-spouse, significant other, "friend" or family member. I was guilty! Those were questions I never really asked myself. I didn't know who I was, much less what I wanted. You only know what you know. Right? At some point in our lives those two questions often come at the lowest moments in our lives. Incidentally, they are the questions that MUST be answered. In this Memoir, Mary E. Gonzalez shares her story of transitioning into the woman she is today. Claiming My Soul is a retailing of her experiences as a woman seeking to survive the day to day of living. She takes us a on a journey of self-acceptance, overcoming trials and tribulation, and holding on to her faith in God in the midst of adversity. The book is a memoir that will enlighten, encourage, inspire, and provide nuggets of wisdom for all ages. It is truly a memoir filled with message of love, hope, faith, and perseverance.
