A Mother's World Shattered Twice 🥀🥀
Surviving, The Worst Life Has to Offer

The unimaginable, heart-wrenching story of the sudden deaths of Venetta's only two children, just six months apart. A powerful read with a disturbing cruel twist, a fight for justice, and a mother's journey out of the darkness. Her story has become a beacon of hope and comfort for others on a similar journey.
Writing this book has been an overwhelmingly cathartic experience for Venetta. Many tears were shed as she re-engaged with every memory and raw emotion this past decade. Healing is a choice she had to make. Venetta's story will break your heart, but leave you amazed and inspired.
