Sober some 16 years since around 1976 when she was in her late 30's, Sarah as a child had Tinea capitis that resulted in the loss of her hair and ridicule by the other kids.
But it also led her to books and reading.
She grew up poor in Atlanta in a large family.
Her education allowed her to be employed and buy friends with cigarettes and alcohol.
She checked herself into detox in a blackout.
There she heard one word that she decided to adopt: "Determination".
And then one phrase hit her, "There is One that has all Power. That one is God. May you find Him now."
But this was not her mother's God - He was one of her own understanding.
