Bag Lady

by Alethea M. Pascascio

Meet Faith bag lady. Weighed down since birth by her emotional baggage, her story reads like a litany of misfortune, from her turbulent childhood to the series of dead-end relationships with men more enticed by the thrills of women, drugs and even witchcraft than by the idea of establishing a healthy relationship. But two failed marriages and a host of other heartbreaks cannot kill her capacity, or desire, to love. And at thirty years of age, Faith finds herself engaged to Justin, a charming and exotic Central American who helps her face her past and shows her how to love herself. After decades of family dysfunction and romantic disappointment, Faith finally believes she's found the one, a man who can help her check her baggage at the door. But a family tragedy threatens to cast Faith back into the clutches of her past, as her sister's jealousy and rage force her to take one last look into her weighty baggage.

Faith takes you down memory lane to show her sister that life hasn't always been easy as it was looking at G-Ma funeral.

Faith and her siblings went through pure hell. The only person was there for them was G-Ma. Because her mother was to busy trying to keep her no good husband. Faith lived with the lies, deception, rejection, unforgiveness,abuse,secrets,lust and low self-esteem. Until she turned it over to God.

Over all I like the book and it was a great read, but Faith was really getting on my nervous. The author did a great job with getting her point over.

Reading the story of Faith and her failed relationships was a dose of reality. The author told a story that was well written and believable. I enjoyed this book and rooted for Faith throughout the entire book and was happy to see her finally attain happiness. I had been wanting to read this book for quite some time and am glad I finally did.
