Who could overcome the depths of the foster care system and find their true love on the other side? Alexis and Justin started their journey in Flint and Detroit, MI, faced with the barriers of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. Their environment shaped their identity and plagued their growth. After recognizing the toxic generational patterns placed upon them by family and society, they were forced to accept the task of redefining their perspective of themselves and the world in the midst of professing their love for one another.
Who created your definition of love and how is it displayed amongst your family, friends, and loved ones? Justin and Alexis give a detailed synopsis' of their path to discover normalcy while describing what love means to them based upon their experiences in the child welfare system. No matter your life story, background, or culture, this book will force you to question your idea of what is normal and who/what shaped your identity.
This book is broken down into four sections with unique themes. The first three sections are broken down by their individual personal narratives as they go on two individual journeys of self-discovery and healing so that they can be who they need to be for each other. This then leads to Agreement which is the final section of this book. Each chapter provides troubling statistics that both have had to face in order to be where they are today juxtaposed with what God says. Mingled with labels that have been placed upon them since childhood, this book discusses race (as an interracial couple), mental health, COVID-19, marriage, and more. It is a story of beating the odds and creating a life worth living while building their faith to influence others.
Less than 3% of foster youth have graduated from college but Alexis and Justin have overcome the statistics! They've launched two businesses (ROSE Empowerment Group and The Scholarship Expert) while also completing a combined 13 study abroad programs together. This memoir is a raw and vulnerable journey of healing and happiness as Justin and Alexis prepare for marriage in August 2020.
Those looking to combat the ideas and labels placed upon them by society and overcoming the odds.
