Sophie, a result of her mother’s unwanted pregnancy, found abuse rather than love from her mother, a woman with multiple personalities. In spite of the difficulties she faced, she always picked up the pieces and looked to a brighter future. After giving birth to two children when she was under the age of eighteen, Sophie was deemed worthless and nothing more than a loser. This didn’t stop this young, vibrant girl from finding her own identity through a punk-rock lifestyle and venturing out into unknown territory. Though her exotic-dancing career made her feel sexy and wanted, she was still very empty inside. Sophie’s father was addicted to heroin, leaving her to raise herself. She still found a way to lift up her head and break down the negative barriers of life. Sophie’s heart-wrenching story uplifts the spirit as we walk with her to a better place, the place called love. She found God through a tragic accident that took her father and nearly herself, along with her young child. Since then she smiles, praises, and counts her blessings. She overcame addictions, abuse, suicide, homelessness, and being tossed away like a used garment. But the true love comes from Sophie’s determined spirit, fighting daily to spread the message of hope.
