All my life, I've been told that I was born to shine. And I believed it. But now, I'm not so sure. What am I to do when I'm lonely? I don't even know what's real and what's not anymore. How will I be myself when the world doesn't accept who I want to be? How will I bear the expectations of all these people, when I can barely bear my own? God only knows. That's the one thing I'm sure of. He knows what I need and, with Him in my life, I'm never alone. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Nerissa James has lived a sheltered life for as long as she can remember; loving parents, a sister whom she'd die for, best friends who she trusts more than herself and above all, God, her shining light in every moment. She couldn't ask for a better life. But when a change she's ready to accept breaks her sheltered life, everything she thought to be real, turns out to be fake. Wherever she went, pride, ego and jealousy has overtaken the society. In order to be accepted in the world she stepped into, Nerissa has to hide who she really is, from her society, so-called friends, and even God. Just as she begins to think there's no going back to her old self, a message from her sister along with a song changes her life, making her realize how much she's changed. With God as her guide and with music as her companion; Nerissa sets out to change the views of her society, one step at a time, by being her true self, whether the world accepts her or not. ranked #1 in Christian Literature on 06/03/20 *currently on hold*
