DOASM's, Sheep in the Midst of Wolves; It's about good people (sheep) who undergo mistreatment by society (wolves). I speak about the hardships I faced and how I positively overcame them. I touch base on religion, spirituality, homelessness, domestic violence, injustice, divorce, abortion, disease, health and fitness, education, death, solitude, celibacy, and so much more. I quote the scriptures throughout the manuscript and offer ideologies from many great thinkers, including myself. One of the notions of the book is, "whose the sheep, and whose the wolf?" it all depends on perception. DOASM's, Sheep in the Midst of Wolves, is an autobiography written to provide hope and encouragement to those who need it. It is a self-help, motivational and inspirational read, designed to help those who are going through hard times and those who are looking for positive guidance, uplifting stories, and/or inducement. The memoir shares testimonies from Vanessa's past and goals for her future. It speaks about how she rose above her heritage and purchased her home at 21 years old. DOASM also reveals candid details about Vanessa's life and the struggles she endured growing up in the projects of South Philadelphia. Furthermore, Vanessa developed Multiple Sclerosis a year after she purchased her first home, yet she found a way to overcome her illness, and live her life medication free. You will also read stories about pain and suffering, as well as the lack of support she had with her children. Vanessa tells all about the struggles she encountered with the judicial system, and her arrest after two parole officers stalked and harassed her for months. In addition, Vanessa discloses the tale of her divorce, and how her now ex-husband pleaded with her to abort her last child and his appalling reaction when she refused. Despite this hardship, Vanessa looked for a positive distraction; thus, she enrolled in college and attained several degrees. After successfully overcoming trials and tribulations, Vanessa decided to write a personal diary to leave for her descendants for generations to come. However, God had a different plan for Vanessa. Consequently, she was inspired to share her testimonies with the world; hence, she published her manuscript. DOASM, offers hope and inspiration.
