A Diamond in the Rough (but full of potential)

About the Book

One woman shares her remarkable life passage from poor to peace; from rape to riches, from lack to love. Latisha Biggs shares her journey of self discovery through the shocking events that led her to a life in Jesus Christ. Growing up poor in Laurel, Mississippi in a family short on love and barely possessing the fortitude to hold each other together, this woman of God survived the effects of sexual abuse, an unfaithful marriage, loneliness and drug use that ultimately led her to the intensive care unit, where she faced a life or death choice - to live in victory or die in disgrace.

It is the relationships and the experiences in our lives that impact us most. And in this revealing tale, Latisha Biggs tells of the encounters that profoundly affected her and, through overcoming a lifetime of self defeating behaviors, eventually shaped her into a role model and a survivor. This heartfelt autobiography illustrates the strength for the Spirit within us all and teaches that loving oneself if the key to receiving love from others.
