Resilient : My Story, God's Glory

Pregnant and scared at fifteen years old, she braved the challenge of becoming a single mother.  Raised in a middle-class family from West Point, Mississippi, Robin’s pregnancy was a shock and disappointment to her family. Although she could have embraced failure, quitting wasn’t an option. Carrying the hurt and betrayal she faced from rejection and the need for validation, Robin sought acceptance in tumultuous relationships that nearly destroyed her. Because of the gossip and naysayers, even in her church and family, Robin questioned her Christian faith; a faith she’d grown to love as a child.
