Believe - by Christina H Wilson (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A sickly child, Christina spent a lot of time reading fairytales. Never would she have imagined her real life would take on the qualities of a true Cinderella story. At the age of twenty-five, Christina meets Jeffery, a Wall Street Titan. Life becomes a whirlwind. They were young, they were in love and they were rich. Life with Jeffrey, a man who lived on his own terms, was consuming and exciting until...

The morning of September 11, 2000, at 6 a.m. when the phone rang, the news on the other end of the call would change their lives forever. It was not the beginning or the end of their story but a cataclysmic moment that joined the past to the present and to the future. In this whirlwind of being, can fairytales really live up to the harsh realities and tragedies of life?

Ultimately Christina's story is about self-discovery, unconditional love, family, and her deep belief that all that happens in life is for a reason. Life, Christina states is not something to regret. It is something to experience. Every experience is a step along the path to the full realization of who we are at our core and destined to be. There should be neither judgment, explanation nor expectation because life is just what it is―a lesson in self-discovery.

I have had the pleasure of calling Christina the sister I never had. I consider her and the kids' family. I have seen all the challenges and rewards that she has faced and never once did she waver in her belief, that everything happens for a reason. She is first and foremost a superpower Mom and the most generous, kind, loving person you could ever want in your corner.
