Steps: From Broken Roads to Brighter Tomorrows - Paperback

by Dreka Clements (Author)

From the very beginning, Tahiry's life was a storm she never saw coming. Torn from her family and placed into the DHR system, the little girl's world changed overnight. What was supposed to be a path to safety quickly turned into a cycle of pain. Adopted into a home where love was absent and survival was a daily task, Tahiry learned early how to navigate life on her own.

Through foster homes, heartbreaks, and betrayal, she clung to the tiny flickers of hope that lived within her. As a teenager, her struggles intensified-becoming a young mother before she was fully grown herself. But even in the darkest moments, Tahiry never stopped dreaming.

STEPS is a powerful coming-of-age story that traces one girl's rise from tragedy to triumph. Through unimaginable odds, Tahiry finds her voice, launches her own business, and begins the hard work of healing and building a future on her own terms. Her journey is raw, real, and filled with the resilience of a girl who refused to be defined by her past.

This is not just a story of survival-it's a story of strength, second chances, and becoming who you were meant to be. Tahiry's truth will break your heart and piece it back together again.
