Produktbeschreibung

In the book I Am Someone Special, the author shares the story of her dysfunctional childhoodher journey through the road of drug addiction and drug dealing and how she struggled to leave her dark past behind and move on to a new and better life. Ms. Hernandez did not experience the kind of childhood others enjoy by being adopted into a wealthy, well-off family. She failed to receive the affection she wanted from her parents, particularly from her adoptive mother. The author was the youngest among seven children and the one who received the worst treatment from her alcoholic mother, who was also addicted to drugs. Her birthmother had stabbed her in the head when she was a nine-month-old baby. After an incident that almost robbed the author of her life, she was placed into an orphanage, where her adoptive parents rescued her. The authors adoptive family gave her the love she had long wanted, along with everything she and her adopted brother and sister could ask for. But despite it all, Ms. Hernandez became rebellious, especially as a teenager. Her rebellious teenage years eventually led her to the wrong path as she started using drugs and selling it as well. She worked further into the drug business until she got caught and sentenced for a couple years in prison. After serving her sentence, the author strived to live a clean life and start anew. With the help of her faith in God and the support of the man she loves, she managed to reinvent herself into a better and strong person. I Am Someone Special might appeal to a reader interested in stories that have changed the lives of individuals who recovered from drug addiction and made the decision to rebuild their lives away from drugs. If you would like to get ahold of the author for questions or for advice, contact her through [e-mail]. You can buy my books at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Books-A-Million.

Autorenporträt

I am Belinda Hernandez, and this is a story I would like to share with you. On September 26, 1966, I was born in El Paso, Texas. It was hot as ever in the summer of June. It was very hot in our one-bedroom house, where I lived with six other brothers and sisters. I was the seventh child, and I was the baby of the house. One afternoon, all the kids were screaming and crying, and it was driving my mom angrier by the minute. I was nine months old. My mother was on drugs, and she loved to drink alcohol. One afternoon, she couldn't take it anymore with all the screaming and crying. So one day, she took me into the kitchen and she took a knife and she stabbed me in the head. I was hospitalized for a few years, then I was placed into an orphanage.
