Memoir of a White Sheep: Surviving Trauma, Depression & Anxiety, (Hardcover)

In "Memoir of a White Sheep: Surviving Trauma, Depression & Anxiety," Ina shares an inspiring story about her journey as a biracial woman that started with a turbulent and horrific childhood. She offers her raw, deeply personal account of resilience, faith, and redemption. Born into a world divided by race, mental illness, and pain, Ina's life began in Lawton, Oklahoma, where she endured a traumatic childhood marked by abuse, family dysfunction, and silence. But she refused to let her beginnings define her end.

From escaping to the bright lights of Los Angeles, taking a wrong turn in Dallas, to reinventing herself as a mother and wife in Phoenix, Ina's journey is both heartbreaking and breathtaking. Diagnosed with clinical depression and scarred by sexual abuse and suicide attempts, she faced darkness that could have destroyed her-but didn't.

Through faith, courage, and self-awareness, she fought her way back from despair, uncovering her true identity and finding the strength to rewrite her story. Ina calls herself the "white sheep" of her family-not because she fit in, but because she stood out. Different. Defiant. Determined to rise.

This powerful memoir is a testament to the healing power of God's love, the courage to confront the past, and the resilience of the human spirit. Readers will be moved by Ina's unforgettable voice and her unflinching honesty.

Follow Ina's inspiring story of her search for happiness and the perseverance to get there, as she overcame dark depression, through attempts at her own destruction, to her final discovery of who she really is, and who she was meant to be, with the steadfast love and support of God always by her side.
