Some of her favorite books and authors include Shel Silverstein (Where the Sidewalk Ends), Sister Souljah (Coldest Winter Ever yes there is profanity/sex scenes and yes it is a good read), Stormie Omartian (Power of a Praying Wife, Power of a Praying Woman, Power of a Praying Parent), Jacquelin Thomas (Singsation and Soul Journey to name a few) and Booker T.

Marks considers the Chicago/Milwaukee area her home but since flying down south to attend Spelman College has grown quite fond of metropolitan Atlanta where she resides with her husband and daughter.

Diamond Butterfly
Emotional trauma at any age is devastating at a young age it is brutal. You need a safe place to share what you're going and have been through. Being open about the pain, hurt, anger and other myriad of feelings present after being grossly neglected, hurt, abused, molested, and betrayed is an important part of being able to heal.
I pray over time you encounter on these pages and in every area of your life what is needed for God to wipe away the pain until you sparkle and shine. Let the Lord lift every burden and free you from your pain. God protected you against things that have taken many others out. He can give you what you need to mount up on wings like an eagle and let the world see the beauty of your wings when you fly.
