Embracing the divine influence in one's life can look like many things, she says: a walk in the woods, a chat with a friend, making the best of a bad situation, and above all, loving one another. Stevens' father was killed when she was young, leaving her mother to raise Stevens and her siblings on her own. Still, Stevens looks back fondly on her childhood, and frequently references her mother's words of wisdom. She bravely writes about her past trauma, explaining how she held onto her faith to get her through. Drawing from her personal experiences and those of the women she's worked with in social justice organizations all over the world, Stevens' empathy for others in tough situations shines through as, without ever passing judgment, she offers readers hope, love, and understanding.'--Booklist<br>
