About Patricia w. Brower
After she went through some life altering dilemmas she learned the importance of forgiving others and letting go of the past. So she penned those experiences and life lessons learned in her fourth book about forgiving others and letting go of the past “Motivated by God’s love to forgive.” In the book she shares candidly about her many personal challenges with forgiving others for the pain they caused in her life. After the pain she was free to live a life that was no longer tarnished with the guilt and shame of holding grudges that plagued her life for so long. After this dark period she endured a major obstacle that brought out some deep rooted, hidden pain that she expressed through her fiction novel. “Soiled Diamond” which is a fiction novel that chronicles the life of a young girl that overcame some insurmountable odds but survives! Although the characters are fictional, the content is real as millions of young men and woman are victims of abuse. In this book you will go on a journey with a young lady that learned how to survive the cruel world of abuse and pain.
She is married to Gregory H. Brower, and they reside in Raleigh North Carolina. She raised two newphews as sons, Daris and Spencer.

She also embraces this truth; that healing comes in many ways! Her plea to others that are battling Multiple Sclerosis, and other chronic diseases, "The disease may adversely affect your body, but don't allow it to affect your soul, or the true essence of who you are! God created you for a purpose and He will give you grace to endure every obstacle that you face."

She started her writing career at an early age with personalized poetry written to loved ones at family gatherings, writing and performing plays at her local church, and making special poetry that she framed as gifts.

finance.
