More than a Conqueror: Confessions of a True Testimony

by Tanisha Carter

In More Than a Conqueror: Confessions of a True Testimony, tells an unprecedented truth that will captivate the soul and give the reader no other choice but to accept. Through the eyes of a survivor, the reader gets a glimpse of the pain, the loneliness and despair of Tanisha's life. One filled with tragedy and traumas, from barely surviving a house fire as an infant, to enduring domestic dysfunction that included poverty, and the devastations resulting from a parent's addiction. Tanisha shares how love, loyalty, and forgiveness not only repaired her family's brokenness, but solidified its bond as a unit. Recounting many personal moments, Tanisha exposes her vulnerableness as she takes the reader alongside her personal, emotional journey from self-hatred and shame over her physical form to finding love, acceptance, and meaning in her beautiful tragedy. Led by her faith and relationship with God, oftentimes Tanisha has walked alone through the valleys of the shadows of depression, rejection, and significant hardships, only to find each time a deeper understanding for her suffering and her purpose. In a world that greatly emphasizes physical beauty and rewards one because of it, Tanisha is a powerful force who speaks candidly about the effects of society's bias. Tanisha offers herself as the perfect example of the agony experienced when one lives according to the fallacies of their superficial self; as well as the freedom experienced when one lives according to their authentic self. Tanisha proves that when one sets their heart, mind and efforts on becoming successful, the outcome is being More Than a Conqueror!
