"Dr. Coley has now been able to put in words what for many years she was not able to say. This book was very therapeutic and dynamic."

Murder-suicide of Dr. Coley's parents when she was 11 years old (caused by her father), left her and seven brothers and sisters trying to understand how this could happen to a family who shared and did everything together. Having a "fairy tale childhood" that ended in tragedy with the oldest Coley at the time being 16 caused the shock of silence for 10 years. The death caused so much pain it was unbearable to talk about. Loving their father with a deep passion for a man who would do anything for them and was an excellent provider left the children with a broken heart. In this book Dr. Coley shares the sorrow and pain of losing her parents and dealing with the wrongs of her father. Knowing their father had some unresolved issues from his childhood they forgave him almost instantly through the power of God's love. But, the pain still lingers. In this motivational book she shares how GOD TURNED TRAGEDY INTO OPPORTUNITY while mending back their broken hearts.​
Dr. Coley became a woman of faith/saved at the young age of 9 and started her teaching and community services at the age of 19. She also has earned 4 degrees from college. She feels that if she can do it, anybody can. But God did not just keep her, He kept all her brothers and sisters as well. No brothers went to jail and no teenage pregnancies. This story is a miracle. This book also deals with the art of being whole and waiting on your divine destiny. By God's grace she is still living her testimony.​
Dr. Coley's book is available in six (6) other languages upon request African (Swahili), Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. My Story also has available other inspiring materials such as Daily Devotional Readings.
